Value Collection BB10.0X01.0 1018 Steel Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB10.0X01.0 is a 1018 low carbon steel round rod measuring 10 inches in diameter and 1 inch in length, supplied with a cold finish mill treatment. This solid steel bar stock is a standard industrial raw material used for machining, fabrication, and structural applications. The cold finish process produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot-rolled alternatives, making it well suited for turning, threading, and close-tolerance work. At 33.5 pounds, this is a substantial piece of bar stock appropriate for heavy fabrication tasks. Machinists, fabricators, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary users.

This round rod is used across a wide range of industrial and manufacturing environments, including machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance operations. The 1018 grade is one of the most commonly specified low carbon steels due to its balance of machinability, weldability, and moderate strength. Its cold finish surface makes it a practical choice for shafting, pins, fixtures, and general mechanical components where dimensional consistency matters. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one piece.

Key Features

• 1018 low carbon steel grade for reliable machinability and weldability
• Cold finish surface treatment for tighter tolerances and smoother finish than hot-rolled
• Mill heat treatment condition
• 10 inches diameter by 1 inch length — large-diameter short-length bar stock
• 33.5 pounds — solid stock suitable for heavy fabrication
• Sold individually, minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1018 low carbon steel round rod suitable for machining, turning, threading, and fabrication applications where cold-finished bar stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Handling and cutting of large-diameter steel round rod requires appropriate lifting equipment given the 33.5-pound weight. Machinists and fabricators should use proper PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting, turning, or grinding this material. Secure the workpiece firmly in a lathe chuck or vise before machining to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when processing bar stock of this size and weight.
