Value Collection 1.0X06.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.0X06.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1 inch thick, 6 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved straightness compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 grade offers moderate strength with excellent machinability and weldability, making it a widely used general-purpose carbon steel. This bar weighs approximately 61.77 pounds and is suited for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial trade applications requiring consistent dimensions and a clean surface ready for machining or welding.

This cold finished 1018 steel flat bar is appropriate for structural supports, brackets, fixtures, machine bases, and general fabrication work. Its flat bar profile suits applications where a wide, flat bearing surface is needed. Fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly work with this stock in both light industrial and heavy manufacturing environments. The 36-inch length equates to 3 feet, providing a manageable piece for benchtop or floor-level fabrication tasks.
