Value Collection 1.5X02.0X12 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.5X02.0X12 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1.5 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Cold finishing produces a smoother surface finish, tighter dimensional tolerances, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 grade is a low-carbon steel known for consistent mechanical properties, good weldability, and ease of machining. This bar weighs 10.49 pounds and is suited for fabrication, machining, and structural applications across industrial and commercial trade work. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals commonly work with this stock.

This bar stock is used in a wide range of fabrication and machining applications, including brackets, shafts, fixtures, and general structural components. Its cold finished surface makes it appropriate for parts that require close tolerances or minimal surface cleanup after machining. The 12-inch length suits short-run parts and prototyping as well as repair and maintenance stock kept on hand in shops and service environments.
