Value Collection .25X06.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .25X06.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.25 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces a smoother surface, tighter dimensional tolerances, and improved straightness compared to hot rolled steel. The 1018 grade is a low-carbon steel known for good machinability, moderate strength, and consistent weldability. This bar is commonly cut, drilled, welded, or fabricated into brackets, supports, frames, and structural components. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance trades rely on this material for general-purpose shop and field work where precise dimensions are needed.

This flat bar is suited for light structural, mechanical, and fabrication applications in both residential and commercial settings. Typical uses include support brackets, mounting plates, straps, and frame members in HVAC equipment rooms, mechanical spaces, and general construction environments. Its flat profile and consistent dimensions make it straightforward to integrate into custom fabrications or repair work. The 36-inch length provides a full 3-foot working stock, and the 6-inch width offers broad surface area for welding, fastening, or machining operations.

Installation Notes

Cutting and welding of steel flat bar should be performed by qualified metalworkers or tradespeople following applicable shop safety and building code requirements. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting, grinding, or welding. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly. Consult local structural or mechanical codes when using this material in load-bearing or code-governed applications.
