Value Collection .50X06.0X72 Cold Finished Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .50X06.0X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.5 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 72 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 designation indicates a low-carbon steel grade known for good weldability, consistent mechanical properties, and ease of machining. At 61.56 pounds per bar, this is a full-length piece suited for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and trade professionals who require reliable, readily workable mild steel stock.

This flat bar is used across a wide range of fabrication and industrial applications including structural supports, brackets, frames, machine bases, and general-purpose metalwork. Its cold finished surface and consistent cross-section make it appropriate for both machined components and weld-up assemblies. Typical end users include metal fabricators, millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC sheet metal shops, and general contractors working on structural or mechanical support applications.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade for good weldability and machinability
• Cold finished process provides tighter tolerances and a smooth surface finish
• Full 72-inch length minimizes waste for long cuts
• 0.5-inch thickness and 6-inch width suit bracket and structural support fabrication
• 61.56-pound bar weight supports heavy-duty structural applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for structural, fabrication, and machining applications where low-carbon mild steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel flat bar should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable shop safety and building code requirements. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Secure the bar properly before cutting to prevent movement. Follow applicable local codes and engineering specifications when using steel stock in structural applications.
