Value Collection BB01.75X12 Steel Round Rod 1018 Cold Finish

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB01.75X12 is a 1018 low carbon steel round rod supplied in a cold finish, mill condition. It measures 1-3/4 inches in diameter and 12 inches in overall length, weighing approximately 8.41 pounds. Cold finishing produces a tighter dimensional tolerance and a smoother surface compared to hot-rolled bar stock, making this rod suitable for machining, fabrication, and general industrial applications. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in shops, plants, or field service environments are the primary users of this material.

This round rod is used in a wide range of fabrication and repair scenarios including shaft stock, spacers, pins, fasteners, and custom brackets. Its 1018 grade composition provides good weldability and machinability with moderate strength, making it a reliable choice for non-structural components and general-purpose metalworking where tight tolerances are required but high alloy properties are not necessary.

Key Features

• 1018 low carbon steel grade offers consistent machinability and good weldability
• Cold finish surface provides tighter dimensional tolerance than hot-rolled alternatives
• 1-3/4 inch diameter suits a range of shaft and pin fabrication tasks
• 12 inch length allows for multiple cut pieces from a single stock rod
• Mill condition heat treatment — no additional processing before use
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 low carbon steel round rod suitable for machining, fabrication, and maintenance repair operations requiring cold-finished bar stock in a 1-3/4 inch diameter profile.

Installation Notes

This material is typically cut, drilled, turned, or welded by machinists or fabricators using standard metalworking equipment. Secure workpieces properly in a vise or chuck before cutting or machining. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when working with bar stock. Follow applicable workplace safety standards for cutting and welding ferrous metals.
