Value Collection .313X05.0X36 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .313X05.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.313 inches thick, 5 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot rolled bar stock, making this piece well suited for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where close tolerances and a clean finish matter. At 16.14 pounds, this bar offers substantial mass for its size. It is handled by machinists, fabricators, welders, and general tradespeople working in shop or field environments.

This flat bar is used in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and light structural fabrication tasks. Typical applications include brackets, supports, frames, guides, fixture components, and general-purpose repair stock. The 1018 grade is a low-carbon steel known for good weldability and machinability. The cold finished surface is ready for secondary operations such as drilling, milling, tapping, or welding without additional surface prep. The 36-inch length provides a manageable piece size for bench work or cut-to-length operations.
