Value Collection 1.0X01.0X72 Steel Square Bar 1018

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.0X01.0X72 is a solid 1018 low-carbon steel square bar measuring 1 inch square by 72 inches in length. This bar stock is a standard raw material used in fabrication, machining, welding, and general metalworking applications. The 1018 grade designation indicates a low-carbon composition that offers good machinability, weldability, and moderate strength, making it a reliable choice for structural components, shafts, brackets, and custom fabricated parts. At 20.61 pounds per piece, it provides substantial material for a wide range of shop and field applications. Trades workers, fabricators, and machinists regularly stock this size for on-demand cutting and forming.

This square bar is suited for both light industrial and commercial fabrication environments. Common applications include the production of frames, supports, pins, keys, and mechanical components where consistent cross-section and material grade are required. The 1018 low-carbon grade is frequently specified when parts will undergo welding or secondary machining operations. It is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment frames, plumbing support structures, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general-purpose shop work where a reliable, readily machinable steel is needed.

• Weight of 20.61 pounds per bar indicates dense, full-length material yield

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw bar stock suitable for fabrication, machining, and welding applications requiring a 1 inch square 1018 low-carbon steel section.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is intended for cutting, machining, or welding by qualified fabricators and tradespeople using appropriate metalworking equipment. Always use proper personal protective equipment, including eye and hand protection, when cutting or grinding steel bar stock. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before any cutting or drilling operation. Consult applicable facility safety standards and local codes when incorporating fabricated steel components into structural or mechanical assemblies.
