DESCRIPTION

The 1/2″ x 3-1/2″ Steel Flat Bar CF-1018 is manufactured from cold-finished 1018 low-carbon steel and produced for machining, fabrication, and structural applications requiring tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish. The flat bar features a rectangular profile with a 1/2″ thickness and 3-1/2″ width, providing excellent strength, weldability, and machinability for industrial and general-purpose use. Cold-finished 1018 steel offers improved dimensional accuracy and surface quality compared to hot-rolled steel, making it ideal for precision fabrication and mechanical components.

Applications:
Steel Flat Bar CF-1018 is commonly used in structural, mechanical, and industrial applications, including:
• Structural supports, brackets, and reinforcement plates
• Machine parts, fixtures, and tooling components
• Fabrication, welding, and custom metalwork
• Base plates, frames, and equipment supports
• Agricultural, automotive, and industrial repairs
• General construction and manufacturing applications

Advantages:
• Smooth cold-finished surface: Provides improved appearance and tighter dimensional tolerances
• Excellent machinability: Ideal for drilling, milling, cutting, and fabrication
• Good weldability: Easily welded using common welding methods
• Strong and durable: Suitable for structural and load-bearing applications
• Versatile design: Can be cut, drilled, and fabricated for custom applications
• Consistent material properties: Reliable performance for industrial and mechanical use

Summary:
The 1/2″ x 3-1/2″ Steel Flat Bar CF-1018 is a durable, versatile cold-finished steel product designed for fabrication, machining, and structural applications. Its smooth finish, excellent machinability, and reliable strength make it an excellent choice for industrial, construction, and general-purpose metalworking projects.

* Prices are subject to change without notice due to fluctuations in the metals market. | All “Value Length” and “Value Pack” item measurements are subject to standard mill tolerances. | Products may be manufactured several thousandths of an inch over or under the stated dimensions and still be within acceptable mill tolerances. All bar, tube, structural, pipe, sheet, plate, and similar products sold on our website are custom cut to the lengths and sizes selected by the customer at the time of purchase. These are not stocked as pre-cut items. Because each order is cut specifically to customer specifications, all cut materials are considered custom products and are not eligible for cancellation, return, or exchange once production has begun. Our standard cutting tolerances are:

  • Length: +0.125″ / -0.062″
  • During the cutting process, the saw blade removes approximately 1/16″ (kerf) of material. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process and is already included within the stated cutting tolerances.
