Value Collection .313X01.0X36 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .313X01.0X36 is a cold finished 1018 steel flat bar measuring 5/16 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface than hot rolled stock, making this bar suitable for machining, fabrication, and general structural applications. The 1018 grade is a low-carbon steel known for good machinability, weldability, and consistent mechanical properties. At 3.23 pounds, this single-piece bar is easy to handle on the bench or in the field. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople working on brackets, supports, and custom metal components will find this bar a dependable raw material stock.

This flat bar is a standard raw material used in light fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and job-site metalwork. Typical applications include custom brackets, mounting plates, support frames, strapping, and repair stock. Its 36-inch length provides usable working stock for most bench-cut applications without requiring additional saw-down from longer bar lengths. Cold finished surface condition makes it suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy and surface finish matter, such as close-tolerance machined parts or components that will receive a coating or weld.
