It is a raw steel bar stock material used in fabrication, repair, and machining applications across mechanical, HVAC, and industrial trades. The material conforms to C1010 low carbon steel specifications, delivering consistent mechanical properties and machinability. Dimensional tolerances are tightly controlled: thickness and squareness hold to plus or minus 0.001 inch, width tolerance runs plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch, and length tolerance is plus 0.625 inch. Weighing 1.28 pounds per piece, this flat stock is suited for bench work, brackets, straps, and custom fabrication tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is used across residential and commercial trade applications wherever a reliable, machinable steel bar is needed. Common uses include fabricating equipment mounting brackets, repair straps, shims, and structural ties in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical installations. Machinists and fabricators rely on C1010 material for its weldability and ease of drilling and cutting. The 24-inch length suits standard bench-cut workflows without requiring pre-cut trimming for most bracket and strap applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType C1010 low carbon steel for consistent machinability and weldability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness and squareness tolerance held to plus or minus 0.001 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch for precise fit-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.625 inch — material runs long, not short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24 x 3 x 1\/16 inch nominal size suits brackets, straps, and custom fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips as a single piece — minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose flat bar stock for fabrication, repair, and replacement applications in mechanical and trade installations where Type C1010 low carbon steel is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting, drilling, and welding should be performed by qualified fabricators or trade professionals using appropriate personal protective equipment.
