DESCRIPTION

1018 cold finished steel flat bar (1-1/4″ x 2-1/2″) is manufactured from low-carbon 1018 mild steel and produced through a cold drawing process that improves surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical strength. This precision-grade material provides a smooth, scale-free surface and tighter tolerances compared to hot rolled steel, making it ideal for machining, fabrication, and structural applications requiring consistency and reliability.

Applications:
1018 CF (cold finished) steel flat bar is commonly used in precision and industrial applications, including:
• Machined components and precision parts
• Brackets, supports, and structural assemblies
• Base plates and mounting components
• Shafts, spacers, and machine parts
• Fixtures, jigs, and tooling applications
• General fabrication and repair work

Advantages:
• Precision finish: Smooth, scale-free surface reduces machining time
• Tight tolerances: Improved dimensional accuracy over hot rolled steel
• Good strength: Cold finishing enhances mechanical properties
• Excellent machinability: 1018 steel cuts, drills, and machines easily
• Versatile material: Suitable for both structural and precision uses

Summary:
The 1-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ 1018 cold finished steel flat bar is a durable, precise, and machinable material designed for applications requiring accuracy and a high-quality surface finish. Its strength, consistency, and versatility make it an excellent choice for fabrication, machining, and general industrial use.

* Prices subject to change without notice due to the Metals Market fluctuations. | All ‘value length’ and ‘value pack’ item measurements are subject to a “mill tolerance”. | A product may be produced several thousandths of an inch, either over or under the stated thickness, and still be within “mill tolerance”. Since we cut the material specifically for your order, they follow these tolerances: Length: +0.125″ / -0.062” – Please note that during cutting, the blade removes about 1/16″ of material (kerf). This is a normal part of the process and is already considered within the stated tolerances.
