Value Collection .75X01.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X01.0X36 is a 1018 grade cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces a smooth, tight-tolerance surface with improved straightness and a consistent finish compared to hot rolled stock. The result is a bar with tighter dimensional accuracy and higher surface quality, making it suitable for machining, fabrication, and structural applications. At 7.73 pounds, this bar is sized for bench-scale and light structural work. Machinists, fabricators, metalworkers, and maintenance professionals are the primary users of this stock material.

This 1018 cold finished steel bar is suited for general fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance environments. Its low-carbon 1018 chemistry offers good weldability and machinability, making it a common choice for brackets, shafts, pins, keys, and support structures. It is equally at home in production runs and one-off repair applications where consistent dimensions and surface finish are required. The 36-inch length fits standard bench vises and band saws without additional cutting in many shop setups.
