Value Collection .125X.75X36 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .125X.75X36 is a cold finished 1018 steel flat bar intended for general fabrication, structural, and repair applications across trades. Measuring 0.125 inches thick by 0.75 inches wide by 36 inches long (3 feet), this bar stock is produced from 1018 low-carbon steel and processed using a cold finishing method that delivers tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled alternatives. It is a standard choice for welders, pipefitters, millwrights, and general fabricators who need predictable material behavior and consistent dimensions in their work.

This flat bar is suited for light structural supports, brackets, straps, weldments, and machine components in both residential and commercial trade applications. Its compact 36-inch length makes it practical for bench work and field repairs where a shorter stock length is preferred over full-length bar. The 1018 specification indicates a medium-low carbon content that responds well to welding, drilling, tapping, and bending operations without requiring preheating under most shop conditions.

Key Features

• Cold finished 1018 low-carbon steel for consistent surface finish and tight dimensional tolerances
• 0.125 inches thick by 0.75 inches wide cross section suits light structural and fabrication tasks
• 36-inch (3-foot) length is practical for bench work, field repairs, and short-run fabrication
• Good weldability and machinability - drills, taps, and bends without preheating under standard conditions
• Single-piece quantity suitable for small jobs or sample applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold finished steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, repair, and structural support applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades where 1018 low-carbon steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is worked by welders, fabricators, and trade mechanics using standard shop tools including angle grinders, band saws, drill presses, and MIG or stick welders. Always follow applicable safety standards and wear appropriate PPE when cutting, grinding, or welding steel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation to prevent injury. Verify material specification requirements against project drawings or engineering specs before cutting to final length.
