Value Collection .50X03.5X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .50X03.5X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar sized at 0.5 inches thick, 3.5 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface finish compared to hot rolled stock, making this bar well suited for applications where close fits and good surface condition matter. Weighing 18.02 pounds, this bar is a solid choice for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and trade contractors who need reliable mild steel stock for structural supports, brackets, frames, and general metalwork.

This flat bar is a general-purpose mild steel section used across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and trade applications. Common uses include weld-in supports, machine bases, shelving frames, gussets, and custom brackets. Its 1018 grade designation indicates low carbon content, which contributes to good weldability and machinability. The 36-inch length provides a practical working section that can be cut to final dimension on-site or in the shop.
