Value Collection BB01.5X36 1018 Steel Round Rod 1.5x36in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB01.5X36 is a 1018 low carbon steel round rod measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Cold finished and annealed, this rod offers consistent dimensional tolerances and a smooth surface suitable for machining, fabrication, and general industrial applications. The 1018 grade provides good weldability and machinability, making it a standard choice for shafts, pins, and structural components. At 18.22 pounds, it is sized for bench or floor stock use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance operations. Machinists, welders, and fabricators are the primary users of this material.

This round rod is suited for a wide range of light to medium fabrication tasks including the production of pins, bolts, shafts, spacers, and general structural parts. The cold finish process results in tighter tolerances and a cleaner surface compared to hot rolled stock, which reduces the amount of secondary finishing work required. Annealing relieves internal stress, improving machinability and workability across both manual and CNC operations. It is a common bench stock item in industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 1018 low carbon steel grade for reliable machinability and weldability
• Cold finish surface for tighter dimensional tolerances and cleaner stock condition
• Annealed heat treatment reduces internal stress and improves workability
• 1.5 inch diameter x 36 inch length ready for cut-to-length fabrication
• 18.22 pound bar weight suited for bench stock or in-shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1018 cold finish annealed round rod for general machining, fabrication, and structural applications where low carbon steel stock is specified.

Installation Notes

This material is cut and machined by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate metalworking tools including lathes, mills, band saws, and drill presses. Always use proper workholding and personal protective equipment when cutting or machining steel stock. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes for material handling and storage of ferrous bar stock.
