Value Collection .75X04.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X04.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 4 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled stock. The 1018 grade provides a good balance of strength and ductility, making it well suited for machined components, shafts, brackets, and structural fabrication work. At 30.89 pounds per bar, this piece is substantial enough for structural and mechanical applications while remaining manageable for bench work and light shop fabrication.

This flat bar is a general-purpose carbon steel stock used in industrial, commercial, and trade fabrication environments. Typical applications include welding fixtures, support brackets, frame members, tooling plates, and custom mechanical parts requiring accurate stock dimensions. It is commonly used by fabricators, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance tradespeople who need reliable dimensional consistency straight off the shelf without additional grinding or cleanup.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or welding should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before machining or cutting operations. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or grinding. Inspect bar ends and edges for burrs before handling.
