Value Collection .125X10.0X12 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .125X10.0X12 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.125 inches thick, 10 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot rolled stock, making this bar well suited for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where a clean surface finish and consistent cross-section matter. At 4.4 pounds, this single-piece bar is easy to handle on the bench or in the shop. It is stocked to meet the needs of machinists, metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and general trade professionals who need flat steel in a ready-to-use size.

This flat bar is a standard trade-supply item used across a wide range of light fabrication and repair applications. Common uses include brackets, plates, support tabs, weld-in gussets, and custom hardware fabrication. The 1018 grade offers good weldability and machinability, making it appropriate for projects that require drilling, tapping, cutting, or MIG and TIG welding. It suits both shop and field fabrication environments, including HVAC equipment supports, plumbing hangers, and electrical panel bracing work.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel flat bar should be performed by qualified fabricators or trade professionals using appropriate personal protective equipment. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. When welding, follow applicable AWS standards and ensure adequate ventilation. Secure all fastened assemblies according to the relevant structural or mechanical code for the application.
