Value Collection .25X.75X72 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .25X.75X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.25 inches thick, 0.75 inches wide, and 72 inches long (6 feet). Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, improved surface finish, and increased tensile and yield strength compared to hot rolled equivalents. The 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers good machinability and weldability, making it a reliable choice for fabrication, repair, and structural support applications. This bar ships as a single piece and is commonly cut, drilled, bent, or welded to specification on the job or in a shop environment.

This flat bar is suited for general fabrication work across mechanical, industrial, and maintenance trades. Typical uses include brackets, straps, supports, frames, and reinforcement components in both commercial and light industrial settings. At 0.25 inches thick and 0.75 inches wide, this profile is well suited for lighter-duty structural and aesthetic metalwork where close tolerances and a clean surface finish are required. Machinists, welders, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly work with this stock.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade provides good machinability, weldability, and formability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances than hot rolled equivalents
• Clean surface finish reduces secondary prep work before welding or painting
• 72 inches (6 feet) length offers flexible cut-to-size options on site or in the shop
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for use in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where AISI 1018 low-carbon steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or welding should be performed by qualified personnel using appropriate PPE and equipment. Follow applicable OSHA and facility safety standards when working with steel stock. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation to prevent injury. Ensure all welding or fastening meets the specifications of the assembly or structure into which this bar is incorporated.
