Value Collection .375x03.0X06 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .375x03.0X06 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar cut to 0.375 inches thick, 3 inches wide, and 6 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface than hot rolled stock, making this bar well suited for machining, fabrication, and repair work where precise fits matter. The 1018 grade offers good machinability and weldability with moderate strength, a common choice when case hardening is not required. The bar weighs approximately 2 pounds and ships as a single piece.

This flat bar is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC bracket fabrication, plumbing support structures, electrical enclosure components, and general-purpose repair stock. Its small cut length makes it practical for bench work, custom mounting plates, and structural spacers. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade contractors working with mild steel will find this a straightforward off-the-shelf option for low-complexity metalwork.

Key Features

• 1018 grade mild steel with good machinability and weldability
• Cold finished surface for tighter tolerances and cleaner cuts
• Compact 6-inch cut length ready for immediate use without further sawing
• Flat bar profile suits bracket, plate, and spacer applications
• Single-piece quantity — no bulk commitment required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar for use in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications requiring mild steel stock at this specific cross-section.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or welding of steel bar stock should be performed by a qualified fabricator or tradesperson using appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. Secure the workpiece firmly before machining or cutting operations. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines and ensure adequate ventilation. Edges may be sharp as supplied — deburr before handling in finished assemblies.
