Value Collection 1.5x04.5X06 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.5x04.5X06 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar cut to a ready-to-use length for fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot rolled stock, making this bar well suited for machining, welding, and structural tasks where surface quality and dimensional accuracy matter. At 1.5 inches thick, 4.5 inches wide, and 6 inches long, this bar ships as a single piece and weighs 12 pounds. It is a practical choice for machinists, welders, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who need a short, workable section of mild steel without ordering full-length bar stock.

This 1018 cold finished steel bar is used in general industrial and commercial fabrication environments. Typical applications include fixture plates, spacers, brackets, support gussets, die components, and machine bases where mild steel strength and machinability are required. The 6-inch length suits bench work, short-run machining, and repair jobs where a full 20-foot bar would be impractical. Minimum order quantity is one piece, making it accessible for small-shop and single-job procurement.

Key Features

• 1018 mild steel grade — good machinability, weldability, and surface finish

• 1.5 inches thick x 4.5 inches wide x 6 inches long — ready to cut or machine as received
• 12-pound single-piece unit — no minimum bulk quantity required
• Suitable for welding, drilling, milling, and general fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mild steel flat bar for use in industrial fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where 1018 cold finished steel is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, welding, or machining of steel bar stock should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable shop safety procedures and local codes. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before machining operations to prevent movement. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembling into a finished assembly.
