Starrett 54889 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 3/32x4x24 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54889 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 3/32 inch thick. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, this flat stock delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with tightly controlled tolerances: plus or minus 0.001 inch on thickness and square, plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch on width, and plus 0.625 inch on length. At 5.53 pounds per piece, it is well suited for light fabrication, shim stock, strapping, brackets, and general metalworking tasks. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians rely on this material for applications where flat, uniform stock with predictable mill tolerances is required.

This flat stock is appropriate for use in job shop fabrication, maintenance and repair operations, and general industrial metalworking. It is commonly used to produce flat brackets, shims, spacers, straps, and similar low-stress structural or mechanical components. The C1010 low carbon designation means the material is easy to cut, drill, bend, and weld without requiring special tooling or preheat procedures, making it a practical choice for in-shop and field fabrication work alike.

Key Features

• Type C1010 low carbon steel for easy machining, drilling, and welding

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose low carbon steel flat stock suitable for light fabrication, maintenance repair, and industrial metalworking applications requiring C1010 material specification.

Installation Notes

Cut, drill, and shape using standard metalworking tooling appropriate for low carbon steel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or final assembly. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines for low carbon steel filler selection. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection during all cutting and grinding operations.
