Value Collection .75X01.25X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X01.25X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 1.25 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface, and improved mechanical properties compared to hot rolled stock. Grade 1018 is a low-carbon steel known for good machinability, weldability, and moderate strength, making it a practical choice for fabrication, repair, and general-purpose structural work. This bar ships as a single piece and is commonly cut, drilled, welded, or bent to fit specific applications by metalworkers, pipefitters, millwrights, and general contractors.

This flat bar is suited for light structural support, brackets, frames, spacers, straps, and reinforcement components in both residential and commercial settings. Its compact cross-section works well in confined installations where a larger bar would be impractical. The 36-inch length allows for single-cut or multi-piece use depending on the application. Trade professionals frequently use 1018 cold finished stock for custom fabrication tasks in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical support structures where mild steel is specified.

Key Features

• Grade 1018 low-carbon steel for reliable machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter tolerances and a cleaner surface finish than hot rolled equivalents
• 0.75 x 1.25 x 36 inch dimensions suit a wide range of fabrication and support applications
• Single-piece packaging for straightforward procurement on small jobs
• Compatible with standard cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for light structural, fabrication, and support applications where mild steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining operations should be performed with tooling rated for mild steel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low-carbon steel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installing in finished assemblies.
