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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X01.75X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 1.75 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved mechanical properties compared to hot rolled stock. The 1018 designation indicates a low-carbon steel grade known for good machinability, weldability, and moderate strength. This bar weighs approximately 13.54 pounds and is a standard choice for fabrication, maintenance repair, and general industrial applications where precise dimensions and consistent material properties are required.

This flat bar suits a wide range of trade and shop applications including structural fabrication, support brackets, frames, jigs, and custom mechanical components. It is commonly used by fabricators, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need reliable, machinable steel stock cut to a workable length. The 36-inch length provides a practical starting point for custom cutting and shaping on the job or in a fabrication shop.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers good machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter tolerances and smoother surface than hot rolled alternatives
• 0.75 inches x 1.75 inches cross-section suits bracket, frame, and structural fabrication tasks
• 36-inch length is ready for custom cutting, drilling, or shaping
• Consistent material specification supports reliable mechanical performance across repeated applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications across industrial, mechanical, and construction trades.

Installation Notes

Work with standard metalworking tools including band saws, cold saws, drill presses, and milling equipment appropriate for low-carbon steel. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting or drilling to prevent movement. Welding is compatible with common MIG and TIG processes; clean the surface prior to welding to ensure proper fusion. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding.
