Value Collection .375X03.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .375X03.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.375 inches thick, 3 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces a smoother surface finish and tighter dimensional tolerances than hot rolled steel, making this bar well suited for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where precision matters. The 1018 grade offers good machinability and weldability with moderate strength, making it a practical general-purpose bar stock for trade and industrial use. This bar weighs approximately 11.6 pounds and ships as a single piece.

This flat bar is used in a wide range of fabrication and mechanical applications including brackets, frames, supports, fixtures, and custom parts. It is a common choice for job shops, maintenance facilities, and field fabricators who need readily machinable low-carbon steel in a standard flat bar form. The 36-inch length suits bench work and short-run part production without requiring extensive cutting to rough size.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for machining, welding, and fabrication applications requiring low-carbon bar stock in a 0.375 inches by 3 inches cross section.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel flat bar should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or machining operation. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and local codes when welding or grinding. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly.
