Starrett 54867 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock Type C1010

Product Description

The STARRETT 54867 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches long, 0.75 inches wide, and 0.0625 inches thick. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, this flat stock delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with tightly controlled tolerances: plus or minus 0.001 inches on thickness and squareness, plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches on width, and plus 0.625 inches on length. At 0.32 pounds, the bar is lightweight and easy to handle. It is suited for fabrication, layout, and machining applications where reliable carbon steel stock in a thin, flat profile is required. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This flat stock is used in light fabrication, fixture building, shimming, and general metalworking tasks in both shop and field environments. Its thin cross-section makes it appropriate for applications requiring a low-profile steel component or a starting blank for custom parts. The Type C1010 designation indicates a low carbon content, which supports welding, bending, and machining operations without the brittleness associated with higher-carbon grades. It is well suited for residential maintenance shops, commercial fabrication benches, and industrial maintenance applications.

Key Features

• Type C1010 low carbon steel supports welding, bending, and general machining
• Thickness and squareness tolerance held to plus or minus 0.001 inches for dimensional consistency
• Width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches ensures close-fit applications
• Length tolerance of plus 0.625 inches provides material for face-trimming to final dimension
• Thin 0.0625-inch profile suitable for shimming and low-clearance fabrication
• Lightweight at 0.32 pounds for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type C1010 low carbon steel flat stock suitable for general fabrication, shimming, and machining applications where a 24 x 0.75 x 0.0625-inch steel bar is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and finishing should be performed with tools rated for mild carbon steel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when sawing, grinding, or filing the stock to final dimension. If welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low carbon steel. Deburr all cut edges before use in assemblies to prevent injury and ensure proper fit.
