2\" x 4\" x 36\" Cold-Finished Carbon Steel Flat Bar Stock Saw Cut 81.4 lb For Sale

2\" x 4\" x 36\" Cold-Drawn Steel Rectangular Bar Stock

Saw-Cut Solid Bar • Appears to Be C1018 • 81.40 lb

Item Overview

This listing is for one solid rectangular cold-drawn steel bar with a nominal 2-inch by 4-inch cross-section and a saw-cut length of approximately 36 inches. The bare bar weighs approximately 81.4 lb (36.92 kg) and has solid blue identification paint visible on one end.

The cold-drawn form, dimensions, weight, blue end paint, and a seller-performed comparative spark test support identification as a low-carbon cold-finished steel. The observed spark pattern appeared similar to known C1018 steel.

No original material tag, mill test report, chemical analysis, or positive material identification report is included. C1018 is therefore presented as a probable identification rather than a certified grade.

Dimensions and weights are approximate and reflect the bare item without packaging.

The bar has a smooth cold-finished appearance and solid blue paint on one end. A seller-performed comparative spark test produced a pattern similar to known C1018 low-carbon steel. Certain published supplier color charts also associate solid blue with C1018 cold-finished bar.

End-color systems are not universal, and a visual spark comparison cannot establish a precise grade. No original material tag, mill test report, chemical analysis, or positive material identification report is included. The exact alloy, ASTM specification, mechanical properties, and manufacturing process therefore remain unverified. Obtain appropriate material testing before use where a particular grade or certified property is required.

Surplus cut-length bar stock. The bar may have oxidation, discoloration, scratches, and handling marks from warehouse storage. The 2-inch by 4-inch rectangular cross-section has a cold-drawn finish, and the approximately 36-inch length is saw cut. Review all photographs for the exact surface condition, end finish, measurements, and included item. You are purchasing the exact bar shown.

Potential Applications

Depending upon the required material properties, this solid rectangular bar may be suitable as raw stock for machining or fabricating fixtures, tooling components, mounting blocks, supports, spacers, brackets, bases, and other industrial parts. No particular finished component or application is represented.

Compatibility and Application Advisory

This is raw bar stock rather than a finished replacement component. Compatibility depends upon the buyer\'s drawing, required finished dimensions, machining allowance, mechanical-property requirements, heat-treatment requirements, welding procedure, and applicable engineering standard.

The buyer is responsible for verifying the actual dimensions, alloy requirements, hardness, chemical composition, machinability, weldability, heat-treatment response, and suitability before machining or installation. Positive material identification or chemical analysis should be obtained before using the bar in lifting, pressure-retaining, structural, vehicle, aerospace, safety-critical, or other material-certified applications.

Critical Warnings

• The precise steel grade is unverified; no mill test report or material certificate is included.
• End-paint colors vary among mills, distributors, product families, and time periods.
• The comparative spark test was an observational screening method, not a chemical analysis or positive material identification test.
• The buyer is responsible for obtaining qualified material testing when composition or mechanical properties are critical.
• This bar weighs more than 81 lb. Use suitable lifting equipment, protective footwear, and secure work supports.
• Saw-cut ends and corners may have sharp edges or burrs. Use appropriate hand and eye protection.
• Do not rely upon nominal dimensions for finish machining without checking the actual bar.
