1-1/4″ x 5″ Steel Flat Bar 1018 Cold Finished (CF) – Precision Mild Steel Flat Bar

Price range: $75.19 through $426.15

Part#: SFLCF1145 Category
DESCRIPTION

1018 cold finished steel flat bar (1-1/4″ x 5″) is manufactured from low-carbon 1018 mild steel and produced through a cold drawing process that improves surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties. This precision-grade material features a smooth, scale-free surface with tighter tolerances and enhanced strength compared to hot rolled steel. The 1-1/4 inch thickness and 5 inch width provide a wide, stable profile suitable for both precision machining and structural fabrication.

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

Advantages:
• Precision surface finish: Smooth, scale-free surface reduces machining time
• Tight dimensional tolerances: Greater accuracy than hot rolled steel
• Improved strength: Cold finishing enhances mechanical properties
• Excellent machinability: 1018 steel machines cleanly and consistently
• Versatile use: Suitable for structural and precision applications

Summary:
The 1-1/4″ x 5″ 1018 cold finished steel flat bar is a strong, precise, and highly machinable material designed for applications requiring accuracy, consistency, and a quality surface finish. Its durability and versatility make 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.
