Value Collection 1.75X02.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.75X02.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1.75 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled stock. 1018 is a low-carbon steel grade known for consistent mechanical properties, good weldability, and ease of machining. This bar is well suited for fabrication, fixturing, shaft blanks, and general structural applications where close tolerances and a clean surface condition matter. It weighs approximately 36.03 pounds per piece.

This flat bar is used across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians reach for 1018 cold finished stock when they need reliable, consistent material for producing parts, supports, guides, and frames. The 36-inch length works well as a ready-cut blank that minimizes additional saw time on the shop floor. It is appropriate for both light fabrication shops and field maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Cold finished process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances than hot rolled
• Smooth surface finish reduces secondary finishing operations
• 1.75 inches thick x 2 inches wide cross section suits flat bar and key stock applications
• 36-inch length provides a practical cut-to-use blank
• Sold individually — minimum order quantity of 1 piece

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for machining, welding, and fabrication applications where low-carbon steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators following applicable shop safety standards. Secure the bar properly in a vise or fixture before any machining or cutting operation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when handling or processing steel stock. Edges may be sharp as supplied — deburr cut ends before handling or incorporating into an assembly.
