Value Collection .625X03.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .625X03.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar used in fabrication, maintenance, and structural support applications. Measuring 0.625 inches thick, 3 inches wide, and 36 inches long, this bar stock delivers tight dimensional tolerances and a smooth surface finish characteristic of cold finishing processes. 1018 is a low-carbon steel grade known for its good machinability, weldability, and moderate strength, making it a dependable choice for general-purpose metalworking tasks. At 19.3 pounds, it is well suited for bench work, light structural builds, and custom fabrication where precise dimensions and consistent surface quality matter.

This flat bar is commonly used across manufacturing, repair, and construction trades. Typical applications include machine bases, brackets, frames, gussets, fixture components, and support structures. Its cold finished surface makes it ready for close-tolerance machining or welding without extensive pre-processing. The 36-inch length provides a practical working section for one-off parts or can be cut down for multiple components in a single piece. Industrial maintenance technicians, millwrights, fabricators, and general machinists are the primary users of this type of bar stock.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or welding should be performed by qualified fabricators using appropriate personal protective equipment and ventilation. Secure the bar stock firmly in a vise or fixture before machining or cutting operations to prevent movement. Edges may be sharp after cutting and should be deburred before handling or installation. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and local codes when incorporating this material into structural assemblies.
