Value Collection BB01.75X36 1018 Steel Round Rod 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB01.75X36 is a 1018 low carbon steel round rod measuring 1-3/4 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Produced with a cold finish and drawn process, this rod delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface suitable for machining, fabrication, and general structural applications. The cold drawing process improves surface finish and tightens diameter tolerances compared to hot-rolled alternatives. At 24.8 pounds, this is a substantial piece suited for shop use, custom fabrication, and maintenance applications. Machinists, welders, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly work with this stock material.

This round rod is appropriate for a wide range of light to medium fabrication tasks including shafts, pins, axles, support structures, and custom mechanical components. The 1018 grade offers good weldability and machinability, making it a standard choice in job shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial fabrication environments. Its cold finish surface is ready for further machining or light welding without additional surface prep in most applications.

Key Features

• 1018 low carbon steel grade — good weldability and machinability
• Cold finish, drawn process for consistent diameter tolerance and smooth surface
• 1-3/4 inch diameter suitable for shaft, pin, and structural fabrication work
• 36 inches (3 feet) long — standard stock length for shop cutting and custom sizing
• 24.8 pounds — solid stock weight for heavy-duty fabrication use

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or machining should be performed with appropriate metal-working tools and personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves. Secure the rod properly in a vise or chuck before any cutting or turning operations. Welding this 1018 grade rod is straightforward, but follow standard AWS filler metal selection guidelines for low carbon steel. Deburr all cut ends before handling or fitting into assemblies.
