Value Collection .75x03.5X06 1018 Steel Flat Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75x03.5X06 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar cut to a specific rectangular profile for precision fabrication and general industrial use. Measuring 0.75 inches thick, 3.5 inches wide, and 6 inches long, this bar stock is produced through a cold finishing process that yields tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled equivalents. At 5.4 pounds, it is a solid, workable piece suited for machining, welding, or structural fitment tasks where consistent material properties are required. The 1018 grade offers good weldability and moderate strength, making it a practical choice for a wide range of fabrication applications.

This flat bar is used across commercial and industrial fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and on-site metalwork where a short, heavy-section steel blank is needed. Typical applications include fixtures, brackets, keys, spacers, and machine components. The 6-inch length makes it suitable for small-part machining or as a raw stock piece for custom fabrication work. Metalworkers, machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly work with this grade and profile.

Key Features

• 1018 cold finished steel grade with tight dimensional tolerances and smooth surface
• Flat bar profile: 0.75 inches thick by 3.5 inches wide by 6 inches long
• Cold finishing process improves machinability and surface consistency over hot rolled stock
• Good weldability suitable for MIG, TIG, and stick welding processes
• Consistent cross-section supports accurate layout and machining setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, machining, and maintenance repair operations requiring a 0.75-inch by 3.5-inch rectangular steel blank.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, or machining operations should be performed with appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. When welding 1018 steel, follow standard AWS welding procedures and ensure proper ventilation. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting the part into an assembly.
