Price range: $71.32 through $392.94

Part#: SFLCF23 Category
DESCRIPTION

2″ x 3″ Steel Flat Bar 1018 Cold Finished (CF) is a precision low-carbon steel flat bar engineered for machining, structural support, and fabrication applications that require tight tolerances and a smooth, clean finish. Manufactured from 1018 cold-finished steel, this flat bar delivers improved strength, superior dimensional accuracy, and a scale-free surface compared to hot-rolled steel.

The cold finished (CF) process produces sharp edges and consistent sizing, making it ideal for CNC machining and precision fabrication. Its excellent machinability allows for efficient drilling, milling, turning, and forming, making it a preferred choice for machinists, fabricators, and industrial users.

Key Features

  • Made from 1018 cold-finished steel
  • 2″ thickness x 3″ width for increased strength and versatility
  • Smooth, clean surface with precise dimensions
  • Excellent machinability for CNC and fabrication
  • Better tolerances and strength than hot-rolled steel

Common Applications

  • CNC-machined components
  • Keys, shafts, and precision parts
  • Tooling and fixtures
  • Brackets, supports, and structural elements
  • Industrial and mechanical fabrication

This 1018 cold-finished steel flat bar is available in multiple lengths with cut-to-size options, allowing you 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.
