Value Collection 1.25X01.75X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.25X01.75X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1.25 inches thick, 1.75 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers good weldability and moderate strength, making it a practical choice for general fabrication, structural supports, brackets, shafts, and machined components. At 22.52 pounds per bar, it is a solid, full-length stock piece suited for shop cutting, milling, or drilling operations by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades.

This flat bar is used in a broad range of industrial and commercial fabrication applications. Common uses include frame members, mounting plates, tooling fixtures, and custom mechanical components. The 36-inch length allows for standard bench or saw cutting to finished dimensions. The cold finished surface requires minimal cleanup before painting, welding, or further machining, making it well suited for job shop and maintenance repair operations where dimensional consistency matters.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining operations on steel bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate metalworking equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. Use appropriate eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or grinding. Welding operations should follow applicable AWS standards for low-carbon steel.
