Value Collection BB.75X36 1018 Steel Round Rod 0.75x36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB.75X36 is a 1018 low carbon steel round rod measuring 0.75 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Produced with a cold finish and supplied in mill condition, this rod offers consistent dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface suited for machining, fabrication, and general metalworking applications. The 1018 grade is one of the most widely used low carbon steels, valued for its excellent machinability, weldability, and moderate strength. At 4.56 pounds, it is easy to handle on the shop floor or job site. Machinists, fabricators, and tradespeople working in HVAC supports, plumbing brackets, or general mechanical assemblies will find this rod a reliable raw material stock.

This round rod is appropriate for a wide range of light to medium fabrication tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include shaft stock, structural supports, pins, guides, tie rods, and custom brackets. The cold finish process results in tighter dimensional tolerances and better surface quality compared to hot-rolled alternatives, making it well-suited for parts that require further machining or threading. It is a standard stock item for machine shops, maintenance departments, and mechanical contractors.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, threading, or welding of this rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling and personal protective equipment. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before installing fabricated components in mechanical or electrical systems. Follow applicable local codes and OSHA standards for metalworking operations. Wear eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding steel stock.
