Price range: $13.73 through $37.20

Part#: SFLCF121 Category
DESCRIPTION

1/2″ x 1″ 1018 Cold-Finished Steel Flat Bar is a precision low-carbon steel bar designed for machining, fabrication, and applications requiring tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish. Compared to hot-rolled steel, 1018 cold-rolled steel offers improved strength, better dimensional accuracy, and a clean, scale-free finish.

This cold-finished steel flat bar is ideal for CNC machining, custom parts, and industrial components where consistency and performance matter. Its excellent machinability allows for easy drilling, milling, turning, and forming, making it a top choice for machinists, fabricators, and manufacturers.

Key Features

  • Precision 1018 cold finished steel
  • 1/2″ thickness x 1″ width – accurate sizing
  • Smooth surface finish with sharp, clean edges
  • Excellent machinability for CNC and manual machining
  • Better strength and tolerances than hot-rolled steel

Common Applications

  • CNC-machined parts and components
  • Keys, pins, and shafts
  • Tooling and fixtures
  • Brackets, supports, and fittings
  • Industrial and mechanical fabrication

This 1018 cold-finished flat bar is available in multiple lengths with cut-to-size options, making it easy to order exactly what your project requires.

* 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.
