Value Collection .75X04.0X12 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X04.0X12 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 4 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved mechanical properties compared to hot rolled stock. The 1018 grade is a low-carbon steel known for its good machinability, weldability, and moderate strength, making it a dependable general-purpose bar stock for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and trade contractors who need reliable raw material in standard cut lengths.

This bar is suited for light structural fabrication, brackets, fixtures, supports, and machine components where close tolerances and a clean surface are required. The 12-inch length makes it practical for bench work and short-run fabrication tasks without the need to cut down longer stock. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing support structures, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical assemblies across both residential and light commercial applications.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel grade for reliable machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother surface compared to hot rolled
• Flat bar profile at 0.75 inches thick by 4 inches wide suits bracket and support fabrication
• 12-inch cut length reduces material waste on short-run jobs
• Weighs approximately 10.49 pounds per piece

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment. Verify dimensional requirements against project drawings before cutting to final length. Follow applicable local codes and shop safety standards when working with steel stock. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure proper fit in assemblies.
