Value Collection 1.0X04.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.0X04.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1 inch thick, 4 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finished steel undergoes drawing or grinding after hot rolling, resulting in tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved straightness compared to hot rolled stock. The 1018 grade offers a good balance of strength, machinability, and weldability, making it a dependable choice for fabrication and general structural applications. At 41.18 pounds, this bar is sized for bench work, machine shop use, or field fabrication tasks handled by metalworkers, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians.

This flat bar stock is suited for a wide range of industrial and trade applications including brackets, frames, support gussets, fixture bases, shafting supports, and general machine components. The 1018 specification is commonly specified where moderate strength and good surface quality are required without the need for alloy steel. At 3 feet in length, this bar fits standard workbench and mill setups for cutting, drilling, tapping, or welding operations in both shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 1018 grade steel provides reliable machinability and weldability for general fabrication work
• Cold finished process delivers tighter tolerances and a cleaner surface than hot rolled equivalents
• 1 inch thickness x 4 inches width cross-section suits structural bracket and plate applications
• 36 inch length allows single-piece cuts for most bench fabrication tasks
• 41.18 pound bar weight consistent with solid cold finished flat bar stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for use in fabrication, maintenance, and industrial shop applications wherever standard flat bar stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of cold finished steel bar stock should be performed by qualified metalworkers or tradespeople using appropriate tooling and personal protective equipment. Secure the bar in a vise or fixture before machining or cutting to prevent movement. Follow applicable OSHA and facility safety standards when handling heavy bar stock of this weight. Edges and cut ends will be sharp after processing and should be deburred before handling or installation.
