Value Collection 1.5x02.0X06 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.5x02.0X06 is a 1018 cold finished steel bar measuring 1.5 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 6 inches long. Cold finished steel is produced by drawing or turning hot rolled bar stock to tighter dimensional tolerances, resulting in a smoother surface finish, improved straightness, and better machinability compared to hot rolled equivalents. 1018 is a low-carbon steel grade widely used in general fabrication, machining, and structural applications. This bar weighs approximately 5.4 pounds and ships as a single piece. It is a common stock material handled by machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across industrial and trade environments.

This 1018 cold finished steel bar is suited for a wide range of fabrication and machining tasks in both commercial and industrial settings. Typical applications include shafting, pins, keys, spacers, brackets, and general structural components where close dimensional tolerances and a clean surface finish are required. Its compact 6-inch length makes it practical for small-batch machining jobs, toolroom work, and maintenance repair operations where a full-length bar would be excessive. It is compatible with standard metalworking equipment including lathes, mills, and drill presses.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers good machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process provides tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother surface than hot rolled bar
• 1.5 inches thick by 2 inches wide cross-section suits a variety of structural and machined part applications
• 6-inch cut length minimizes waste for small-quantity jobs and toolroom use
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1 for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold finished steel bar stock suitable for standard metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance repair operations requiring 1018-grade low-carbon steel.

Installation Notes

This material is worked using conventional metalworking equipment and practices. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting, drilling, or grinding. Secure the workpiece properly in a vise or fixture before machining to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or heat-treating this material.
