Value Collection .75X08.0X36 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75X08.0X36 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 8 inches wide, and 36 inches long (3 feet). Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot rolled bar stock, making this material well suited for machined components, structural supports, brackets, fixtures, and weldments where consistent sizing and surface quality matter. At 61.88 pounds, this is a substantial stock bar appropriate for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and trade contractors who need reliable mild steel with predictable machinability and weldability.

This flat bar is a general-purpose 1018 mild steel section used across industrial fabrication, mechanical contracting, and facility maintenance applications. Typical uses include frame members, gussets, tie plates, wear pads, and custom machined parts where low-carbon steel with good surface finish is specified. The 36-inch length works for bench-cut operations and is a common starting length for secondary machining or torch-cut blanks in light to medium structural work.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel composition for consistent machinability and weldability
• Cold finished process delivers tight dimensional tolerances and smooth mill surface
• 0.75 inches thick by 8 inches wide cross-section suits heavy bracket and plate applications
• 36-inch (3-foot) length is practical for bench-top cutting and secondary operations
• Sold as a single bar with no minimum order quantity beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1018 cold finished steel flat bar suitable for general fabrication, structural, and machining applications where low-carbon mild steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of steel flat bar stock should be performed by qualified fabricators or trade professionals using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting into an assembly. Follow applicable AWS welding standards and local codes when incorporating this material into structural or mechanical assemblies.
