Value Collection .50X01.0X72 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .50X01.0X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.5 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 72 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar stock. Grade 1018 is a low-carbon steel widely used across fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where weldability, machinability, and moderate strength are required. This bar ships as a single piece and is suited for use by machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working in industrial, commercial, or trade settings.

This flat bar is appropriate for structural support members, brackets, fixtures, frames, and general fabrication tasks. Its 6-foot length provides practical stock for a range of cut-to-length applications in shop or field environments. The cold finished surface is ready for machining, drilling, tapping, or welding without additional descaling. It is commonly stocked in machine shops, HVAC fabrication shops, plumbing and mechanical contractors, and general maintenance facilities.
