Value Collection 2.5X03.0X06 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2.5X03.0X06 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 2.5 inches thick, 3 inches wide, and 6 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 grade is a low-carbon steel known for good weldability, consistent mechanical properties, and ease of machining. This bar weighs approximately 13.4 pounds. It is a general-purpose stock bar suited for fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial applications where precise dimensions and a clean surface finish are required.

This flat bar is commonly used as raw material stock for machined components, structural supports, fixtures, brackets, and tooling bases. Its 1018 chemistry and cold finished surface make it a practical choice across manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. The compact 6-inch length is well suited for short-run machined parts or smaller fabrication work where a full-length bar is not needed. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the typical end users of this bar stock.
