Value Collection .625X01.125X72 1018 Steel Flat Bar 72in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .625X01.125X72 is a cold finished 1018 steel flat bar used in fabrication, maintenance, and general metalworking applications. Measuring 0.625 inches thick, 1.125 inches wide, and 72 inches long, this bar stock is drawn to tighter dimensional tolerances than hot rolled alternatives, resulting in a cleaner surface finish and improved machinability. The 1018 grade designation indicates a low-carbon steel with good weldability and moderate strength, making it a practical choice for structural supports, brackets, frames, and custom-fabricated components. It ships as a single piece per package.

This flat bar is suited for light structural and fabrication work in commercial and industrial settings. Typical applications include machine bases, support brackets, strap work, and weld-up assemblies where dimensional consistency and surface quality matter. The cold finished process makes this bar easier to machine, tap, or drill compared to hot rolled equivalents. Welders, machinists, pipefitters, and general fabricators commonly stock this size for on-the-bench or field fabrication tasks.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is typically cut, drilled, tapped, or welded by machinists and metal fabricators using standard shop tools. Always de-burr cut edges before handling or fitting. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low-carbon steel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves during all cutting and grinding operations.
