Value Collection .50X.625X72 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .50X.625X72 is a cold finished 1018 steel flat bar used in fabrication, maintenance, and general metalworking applications. Measuring 0.5 inches thick, 0.625 inches wide, and 72 inches long, this bar is drawn to tight dimensional tolerances through a cold finishing process that improves surface quality and increases yield strength compared to hot rolled material. The 1018 low-carbon steel alloy offers good machinability and weldability, making it a reliable choice for structural supports, brackets, frames, and custom fabricated components. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and millwrights commonly work with this stock.

This flat bar is suited for light structural and fabrication tasks in industrial, commercial, and maintenance shop environments. At 72 inches in length, it provides a full 6-foot run that can be cut to size on-site. The cold finished surface finish reduces the need for secondary material prep before machining or welding. It is a single-piece unit packaged individually, appropriate for one-off repairs, prototype builds, or low-volume production runs where precise dimensional stock is required.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel alloy with good machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter tolerances and improved surface finish versus hot rolled
• 0.5 inches thick by 0.625 inches wide cross section for light structural and fabrication use
• Full 72-inch length provides a 6-foot workable bar with flexibility to cut to size
• Ships as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold finished steel flat bar suitable for use in fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications requiring 1018 low-carbon steel stock in this cross-sectional size.

Installation Notes

Installation and fabrication work involving steel bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists, welders, or maintenance technicians using appropriate personal protective equipment. Cut, grind, or drill to size using tools rated for steel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and local codes when incorporating this material into structural or mechanical assemblies.
