1018	Carbon: Manganese: Phosphorus: Sulfur:	.18% .75% .04% .05%	Manufacturer - Generic Carbon Steel

This steel is available at Lowes, Home Depot and other home improvement stores. It is good for projects requiring low carbon steel.

It is NOT a good blade steel. It should never be used as a blade steel or as a component in damascus. The only reason it is used is because it is cheap. Do not buy damascus that contains 1018.
