Value Collection .75X06.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X06.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved straightness compared to hot rolled bar stock. The 1018 grade offers a good balance of strength and machinability, making it a common choice for fabrication, maintenance, and repair work across mechanical, structural, and industrial applications. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians routinely work with this stock for custom brackets, supports, shafts, and general-purpose components.

This flat bar is suited for a wide range of shop and field fabrication tasks. Its 36-inch length provides usable stock for most bench-cut or saw-cut projects without requiring further breakdown of full-length bar. The 6-inch width accommodates wider plate-style applications such as gussets, mounting plates, and wear strips. Cold finished 1018 is compatible with standard welding, drilling, tapping, and milling operations, making it a versatile raw material for both one-off repairs and small production runs in industrial, commercial, and trade service environments.

Key Features

• 1018 grade steel with consistent chemistry for predictable machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother surface than hot rolled equivalents
• 0.75 inches thick by 6 inches wide cross section suits plate and flat bar fabrication tasks
• 36-inch length provides ready-to-cut stock for brackets, plates, supports, and wear components
• Compatible with standard shop operations including drilling, tapping, milling, and MIG or stick welding

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold finished steel flat bar suitable for fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where 1018 grade material and cold finished tolerances are specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel flat bar should be performed by qualified fabricators or tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting to prevent injury and ensure proper fit-up. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and local codes when welding or grinding. Secure the workpiece firmly before machining or cutting operations.
