Value Collection 1.0X03.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.0X03.0X36 is a 1018 grade cold finished steel flat bar sized at 1 inch thick, 3 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled stock. This bar is a general-purpose structural and fabrication material used across industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals install and work with this stock for brackets, supports, guides, and custom components where consistent dimensions and surface quality are required.

This flat bar suits a wide range of fabrication and repair scenarios including weld-up frames, structural supports, machine bases, and general shop work. Its 36-inch length makes it practical for bench-top cutting and machining without further breakdown. The 1018 specification indicates low-carbon steel content, which provides good weldability and moderate strength suitable for most non-hardened structural applications in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers reliable weldability and moderate tensile strength
• Cold finished process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances and a clean surface compared to hot rolled
• 1 inch thickness by 3 inches wide cross-section suits bracket, plate, and structural fab work
• 36-inch length is ready for direct use or bench cutting without initial breakdown
• Consistent width and thickness support accurate layout and machining

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel flat bar should be performed by qualified fabricators or tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the bar properly before cutting or machining to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or grinding. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting to adjacent components.
