Value Collection 1.0X02.75X12 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.0X02.75X12 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1 inch thick, 2.75 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot rolled stock, making this bar well suited for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where close tolerances matter. Weighing 9.62 pounds, this solid steel bar is a practical choice for shops, contractors, and fabricators needing a reliable, workable low-carbon steel in a manageable length.

This 1018 cold finished bar is commonly used in general machining, jig and fixture fabrication, welding projects, and light structural applications. Its low-carbon composition makes it easy to machine, weld, and bend, and it responds well to case hardening when surface wear resistance is needed. Typical users include machinists, metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople requiring a standard flat bar stock for custom part fabrication or structural repair work.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel composition for good machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances and a cleaner surface finish than hot rolled equivalents
• Dimensions: 1 inch thick x 2.75 inches wide x 12 inches long
• Solid flat bar profile suitable for machining into custom components or use as structural stock
• Weight of 9.62 pounds provides substantial material in a single 12-inch length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for general machining, fabrication, and structural applications where low-carbon steel flat stock is specified.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is typically cut, drilled, welded, or machined by qualified metal fabricators or tradespeople using appropriate cutting and machining equipment. Always wear proper personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding steel. Secure the workpiece firmly before any machining or cutting operation to prevent movement. Consult applicable local codes and engineering specifications when using bar stock in structural applications.
