Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length, this rod is a standard raw stock material used in fabrication, machining, and general industrial applications. The 1018 grade offers good weldability, moderate strength, and consistent machinability, making it a practical choice for producing shafts, pins, bolts, and structural supports. Cold finishing produces a smooth, tight-tolerance surface compared to hot-rolled stock, which reduces secondary finishing work. Weighing approximately 1 pound, it is easy to handle and cut to length on-site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis round rod is suited for use in light fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, HVAC equipment manufacturing, plumbing support fabrication, and general metalworking applications. It is appropriate for both job-shop production and field repair work where a readily available, machinable mild steel stock is needed. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly work with this material for custom part production and structural component replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1018 low carbon steel grade — consistent chemistry for reliable machinability and weldability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCold-finish surface condition — tighter dimensional tolerance and smoother surface than hot-rolled alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25 inch diameter, 72 inch length — standard stock size ready for cut-to-length use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill heat treatment condition — supplied in the as-drawn state without additional annealing or hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at approximately 1 pound — easy single-person handling and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 30102404 — classifies as a raw metal bar or rod for procurement systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose raw stock round rod suitable for machining, fabrication, and structural support applications across industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting and machining of steel round rod should be performed by qualified fabricators or machinists using appropriate cutting tools, lubricants, and personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. Verify required length and diameter tolerances before cutting, as cut pieces are typically non-returnable. Welding of 1018 low carbon steel generally requires standard mild steel filler materials and procedures in accordance with applicable AWS guidelines. Deburr all cut ends before use in assemblies to prevent injury and to ensure proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1018\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 72 inches (6 feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cold Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30102404\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BB.25X72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702902980914,"sku":"BB.25X72","price":31.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bb01aa63a509dd67a89134cd27d3c89c_6613905a-96f5-4c41-962c-902faaad190a.jpg?v=1788413801","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bb-25x72-steel-round-rod-1-4-in-72-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
