Value Collection 1.0X01.0X12 Steel Square Bar 1018

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.0X01.0X12 is a solid steel square bar made from 1018 low carbon steel, measuring 1 inch square by 12 inches long. This bar stock is a general-purpose structural and fabrication material used in welding, machining, and repair applications across industrial, mechanical, and trade settings. The 1018 grade offers good weldability and machinability, making it a reliable choice for projects that require a consistent, machinable carbon steel stock. At 3.5 pounds, the piece is easy to handle and cut to secondary dimensions on-site or in a shop environment.

This square bar is suited for fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light industrial applications. Common uses include brackets, supports, shafts, pins, and structural components where precise machining or welding is required. The 12-inch length is a standard cut that works well for short-run production parts and custom fabrication work. Trade professionals including millwrights, pipefitters, welders, and general machinists typically work with bar stock in this size range.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1018 low carbon steel square bar for general fabrication, welding, and machining applications where cold-rolled or hot-rolled square bar stock of this cross-section is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel bar stock should be performed by qualified fabricators or tradespeople using appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves. Secure the bar properly in a vise or fixture before machining to prevent movement. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for carbon steel filler metal selection. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installing fabricated components.
