Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled stock. 1018 is a low-carbon steel grade known for good weldability, moderate strength, and ease of machining. This bar is well suited for structural fab work, fixture building, brackets, and general metalworking applications where consistent dimensions and surface quality matter. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat bar fits a wide range of light structural and fabrication applications in both industrial and commercial settings. Common uses include machine bases, support brackets, frame members, gussets, and custom tooling components. At 36 inches in length, it can be cut to size on-site with standard cold-saw or band-saw equipment. The 8-inch width provides broad material stock for layout work where wider blanks are needed before secondary machining or cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1018 low-carbon steel grade — good weldability and machinability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCold finished process provides tighter tolerances and smoother surface than hot rolled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inches thick by 8 inches wide cross-section — substantial flat stock for structural or fab use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 inches (3 feet) length — ready for cut-to-length shop operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece unit quantity — no minimum bundle requirement beyond one bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, machining, and structural support applications across industrial, commercial, and maintenance trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting, drilling, or welding this bar should be performed by qualified fabricators or machinists using appropriate PPE including eye and hand protection. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before any cutting or drilling operations to prevent movement. If welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low-carbon steel and ensure proper ventilation. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1018\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cold Finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches (3 feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 41.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30263600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: .50X08.0X36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715393650994,"sku":".50X08.0X36","price":131.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c69e532a8ae788a8dfbf314aa67175fa_bdc63220-c57a-47ea-97c3-dadedbdb342e.jpg?v=1788513255","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-50x08-0x36-1018-cold-finished-steel-bar","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
