Value Collection .625X01.25X36 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .625X01.25X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar used in fabrication, repair, and general metalworking applications. Measuring 0.625 inches thick, 1.25 inches wide, and 36 inches long, this bar stock is produced to the 1018 low-carbon steel specification, which offers reliable machinability, good surface finish, and consistent dimensional tolerances. Cold finishing produces a tighter tolerance and smoother surface compared to hot rolled bar, making it suitable for parts that require moderate forming, threading, or welding without extensive secondary finishing. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly stock this material for custom bracket fabrication, repair stock, and structural component work.

This bar is suited for light structural, mechanical, and maintenance applications in both commercial and industrial settings. Its 36-inch length makes it a practical cut stock for shop use, allowing multiple shorter pieces to be cut from a single bar. Common applications include support brackets, straps, gussets, keystock, and general-purpose machine parts where high-alloy or high-strength material is not required. The 1018 specification is widely accepted across fabrication and maintenance trades for non-critical structural use.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel specification for reliable machinability and weldability
• Cold finished surface provides tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother finish than hot rolled
• 0.625 inches thick by 1.25 inches wide cross-section suits bracket and strap fabrication
• 36-inch length allows multiple cuts from a single piece of stock
• Flat bar profile ready for drilling, threading, bending, or welding as needed

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding operations should be performed by qualified fabricators or tradespeople using appropriate tooling and personal protective equipment. Follow applicable workplace safety codes when cutting or grinding steel bar stock. Edges and cut ends will be sharp after machining and should be deburred before handling or installation. Welding of 1018 steel should follow standard low-carbon steel procedures consistent with AWS guidelines.
