Steel 1008 Sheet Prices
Current 1008 Steel Sheet prices by dimension, with $/lb for cross-size comparison.
1008/1010 Sheet is currently $0.91/lb.
About 1008|Very low carbon steel (0.08%), almost exclusively a sheet, strip, and wire product. Extremely formable and ductile. Meant for deep drawing, stamping, and cold heading, not machining. If it ends up in your lathe, expect gummy, stringy chips and poor surface finish. The material deforms instead of shearing cleanly. Used for sheet metal enclosures, cold-headed fasteners, wire products, and any stamped part where formability is the priority. Compare to 1010 (slightly more carbon, similar applications), 1018 (actual machining stock), and CS-B (similar softness without defined chemistry).
About Sheet|Thin flat stock, generally under 3/16", used for stamping, bending, shearing, and laser/plasma cutting. It's the starting material for enclosures, panels, brackets, and formed sheet metal parts.
