Starrett 54872 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock C1010

Product Description

The STARRETT 54872 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar made to Type C1010 material specification. It measures 24 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 0.0625 inches thick. This flat stock is used in fabrication, toolmaking, maintenance, and repair applications where a precise, cold-rolled steel bar is required. The tight dimensional tolerances make it suitable for layout work, shimming, fixtures, and general metalworking tasks. At 1.06 pounds, it is easy to handle and cut to fit. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this material.

This flat stock is suited for both shop and field use in industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments. It is commonly used for making brackets, spacers, shims, wear plates, and fixture components. The C1010 low carbon steel composition offers good machinability and weldability, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose fabrication work where high hardness or alloy properties are not required.
