Value Collection .625X01.5X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .625X01.5X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar used in general fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications across industrial and trade settings. Measuring 0.625 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 36 inches long, this bar stock is produced to a cold finished surface condition, which delivers tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled alternatives. The 1018 material specification indicates a low-carbon steel chemistry that machines cleanly, welds readily, and accepts case hardening. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this bar stock.

This flat bar is suited for a wide range of fabrication tasks including brackets, spacers, supports, keys, shims, and structural tie-in components. Its 36-inch length accommodates most bench and manual cutting operations without additional prep. The cold finished surface condition makes it a reliable choice when close tolerances are required right off the shelf without additional grinding or machining of the outer surface. It is commonly stocked in maintenance shops, machine shops, and trade service vehicles handling structural or mechanical repair work.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel alloy specification — good machinability, weldability, and case hardenability
• Cold finished surface condition for tighter dimensional tolerance and smoother finish than hot rolled
• Flat bar profile: 0.625 inches thick by 1.5 inches wide by 36 inches long
• Single-piece package quantity — no minimum bundle requirement
• Weighs 9.67 pounds — manageable for bench work and manual handling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications requiring low-carbon steel bar stock in this dimensional range.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding operations on this bar stock should be performed by qualified fabricators or trade technicians using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or clamping fixture before any cutting or machining operation. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low-carbon steel and ensure adequate ventilation. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installing into finished assemblies.
