Starrett 54903 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 5x24in C1010

Product Description

The STARRETT 54903 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 0.125 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 4.26 pounds per piece, it is a solid-weight bar suited for fabrication, repair, and custom metalwork applications. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general fabricators rely on C1010 low carbon steel for its weldability, machinability, and consistent forming characteristics.

This flat stock is used in light fabrication, structural repairs, brackets, straps, spacers, and support components across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. Its low carbon content makes it easy to cut, drill, weld, and grind with standard shop tools. The 24-inch length provides a workable starting blank for most bench fabrication tasks, and the 5-inch width accommodates a wide range of part profiles without excessive material waste.
