Value Collection 1.0X05.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.0X05.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1 inch thick, 5 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface, and improved mechanical properties compared to hot rolled stock. This bar weighs approximately 51.47 pounds and is suited for structural fabrication, machining, and general metalworking applications. Machinists, fabricators, and millwrights rely on 1018 cold finished bar for its consistent hardness and predictable machinability across a wide range of production and repair tasks.

This flat bar is appropriate for light structural components, brackets, fixtures, frames, jigs, and tooling stock in both shop and field environments. The 36-inch length provides a manageable cut suitable for a single-piece workpiece or can be further cut to size. Its 1018 carbon steel composition makes it a common choice in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations where moderate strength and good weldability are required.

Key Features

• 1018 carbon steel composition delivers good weldability and moderate tensile strength
• Cold finished process provides closer dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface finish than hot rolled bar
• 1 inch thickness x 5 inches wide x 36 inches long for versatile fabrication use
• Consistent cross-section supports accurate machining and drilling operations
• Approximately 51.47 pounds — suitable for single-piece handling and transport

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, welding, and grinding operations on this bar should be performed by qualified fabricators or machinists using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or machining operation. When welding 1018 steel, follow applicable AWS guidelines for preheat and filler metal selection. Dispose of metal chips and cutting fluids in accordance with local regulations.
