Part#: SFLCF3164 Category
DESCRIPTION

CF-1018 cold finished steel flat bar (3/16″ x 4″) is manufactured from low-carbon 1018 steel and produced through a cold drawing process that enhances surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties. This material provides a smooth surface, improved strength, and tighter tolerances compared to hot rolled steel, making it well-suited for precision fabrication and general industrial use. The 3/16 inch thickness and 4 inch width offer a broad, stable profile for structural and machined components.

Applications:
CF-1018 cold finished steel flat bar is commonly used in precision, structural, and fabrication applications, including:
• Machined parts and precision components
• Brackets, supports, and structural assemblies
• Equipment and machinery fabrication
• Base plates and mounting components
• Shafts, spacers, and hardware fabrication
• Automotive and industrial repair work

Advantages:
• Smooth surface finish: Reduces or eliminates additional finishing work
• Tight dimensional tolerances: Higher accuracy than hot rolled steel
• Increased strength: Cold working improves mechanical properties
• Excellent machinability: 1018 steel is easy to cut, drill, and machine
• Versatile use: Suitable for both precision and structural applications

Summary:
The 3/16″ x 4″ CF-1018 cold finished steel flat bar is a strong, precise, and machinable material designed for applications requiring superior finish and accuracy. Its combination of durability, dimensional consistency, and versatility makes it an excellent choice for fabrication, machining, and industrial use.

* 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.
