1018 Cold Rolled Flat Bar - 1/4" x 2-1/2" x 144"
This 2-1/2" x 1/4" 1018 Cold Rolled Flat Bar offers tight dimensional accuracy and a clean, smooth surface finish per ASTM A108. With a tensile strength of 63,800 PSI and excellent machinability, it's ideal for manufacturing precision parts and structural components. In stock Los Angeles.
- 1018 Steel Construction
- ASTM A108 Certified
- 63,800 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Machinability (70%)
1018 Cold Rolled Steel is a low-carbon grade produced through cold drawing, a process that increases its strength and hardness while providing a superior surface finish and tight dimensional tolerances. This material complies with ASTM A108 standards and offers a great balance of strength, ductility, and toughness. Its excellent weldability and machinability (rated at 70%) make it a versatile choice for general fabrication.
As a medium-width bar, this 2-1/2" wide flat is perfectly suited for applications requiring greater stability than smaller straps. Common uses include structural bracing, wear strips for machinery, base plates for equipment, and other machined components where its flatness and consistency are critical.
