Value Collection .50X.75X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .50X.75X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.5 inches thick, 0.75 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers good weldability and moderate strength, making it a dependable choice for general fabrication, structural support, brackets, and repair work. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades keep this stock on hand for custom hardware, mounting plates, and support straps.

This flat bar is suited for light to medium fabrication tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include custom brackets, equipment mounts, reinforcement straps, and shop-fabricated hardware. Its 36-inch length provides a workable stock size for single-piece cuts or smaller multi-piece layouts without excessive material waste. The cold finished surface finish reduces the need for secondary grinding or cleanup before welding or painting.
