Value Collection .75X02.0X72 Cold Finished Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X02.0X72 is a cold finished 1018 steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 72 inches long (6 feet). Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot rolled bar stock, making this piece well suited for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where surface condition and dimensional accuracy matter. At 30.78 pounds per piece, this is a solid bar appropriate for general metalworking projects handled by machinists, welders, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople.

This flat bar is commonly used in light structural framing, machine bases, brackets, supports, and repair fabrication in industrial, commercial, and trade service settings. The 1018 grade is a low-carbon steel with good weldability and machinability, making it a standard choice when moderate strength and ease of processing are both required. It can be cut, drilled, welded, and tapped with conventional shop tooling.

Key Features

• Cold finished surface for tighter tolerances and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar
• 1018 low-carbon steel grade with good weldability and machinability
• 0.75 inches thick by 2 inches wide cross section suitable for bracket and structural fabrication
• 72-inch (6-foot) length minimizes material waste on standard shop cuts
• 30.78 pounds per bar provides substantial stock for multiple fabrication uses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold finished steel flat bar for use in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance repair operations where 1018 low-carbon steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by qualified metalworkers using appropriate tooling for low-carbon steel. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Secure the bar firmly before cutting to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and relevant codes when incorporating steel stock into structural or mechanical assemblies.
