Value Collection 1.5X01.5X36 Steel Square Bar 1018

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.5X01.5X36 is a solid 1018 low-carbon steel square bar measuring 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches in cross-section and 36 inches in length. Cold-drawn 1018 is a widely used mild steel grade valued for its consistent mechanical properties, good machinability, and weldability. At 23.2 pounds, this bar provides substantial mass suitable for structural fabrication, machine component work, and general metalworking applications. It ships as a single piece and is well suited for shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication contractors needing a standard-length stock bar for cutting, drilling, or welding to spec.

This square bar is used across industrial, commercial, and maintenance fabrication environments. Typical applications include fixture bases, support brackets, frame members, shaft blanks, and tooling components. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in manufacturing plants, welding shops, and general contracting operations regularly stock this size for on-demand cut-to-length use. The 36-inch length is a practical starting stock for a wide range of secondary operations.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers reliable machinability and consistent weldability
• 1.5 x 1.5 inch square cross-section provides uniform geometry for accurate layout and cutting
• 36-inch length works as direct-use stock or as cut-to-length feedstock
• Solid bar construction throughout — no hollow core, no seams
• 23.2-pound piece weight suitable for bench stock and small-batch fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 low-carbon steel square bar for use in standard metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications where mild steel stock in a 1.5 x 1.5 x 36 inch form factor is required.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding operations on 1018 mild steel should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling and personal protective equipment. Secure the bar in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards and any local codes governing metalworking operations. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembling into finished components.
