Value Collection .75X01.0X72 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X01.0X72 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 72 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface, and improved straightness compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 grade provides a good balance of strength, machinability, and weldability, making it a widely used choice for general fabrication, machining, and structural applications. At 15.39 pounds per bar, this piece is well suited for shop fabrication, repair work, and custom component manufacturing across trade and industrial settings.

This flat bar is commonly used in HVAC equipment fabrication, mechanical support structures, plumbing fixture framing, electrical enclosure components, and general metalworking applications. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use 1018 cold finished bar when dimensional accuracy and surface finish matter more than raw tensile strength. The 72-inch length allows for efficient cut-to-length operations with minimal waste.

Key Features

• 1018 grade steel with cold finished processing for tight dimensional tolerances
• Smooth surface finish suitable for machining, welding, and painting
• 0.75 inch thickness x 1 inch width cross section for versatile layout options
• 72-inch length supports cut-to-length fabrication with minimal scrap
• Good machinability and weldability for general shop and field fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, structural support, and machining applications across trade and industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Cutting should be performed with appropriate metal-cutting blades or saws rated for cold finished steel stock. Wear proper PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves during handling and cutting operations. Deburr all cut edges before installation in structural or equipment applications. Follow applicable facility safety and fabrication standards when welding or fastening this bar stock into assemblies.
