Starrett 54906 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock C1010

Product Description

The STARRETT 54906 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar in Type C1010 material, measuring 24 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 1/8 inch thick. It is a general-purpose raw steel stock used in fabrication, repair, and custom metalwork applications across industrial, mechanical, and construction trades. The C1010 designation indicates a mild, low carbon steel with good machinability and weldability. Tight dimensional tolerances are held throughout: plus or minus 0.001 inch on thickness and squareness, plus 0.000 to 0.015 inch on width, and plus 0.625 inch on length. This piece is sold individually and weighs 8.5 pounds.

This flat stock is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, HVAC fabrication, plumbing supports, and general mechanical assembly. Its flat, uniform profile makes it a reliable choice for brackets, shims, gussets, and structural supports where dimensional consistency matters. The mild steel composition allows straightforward cutting, drilling, welding, and grinding with standard trade tools. It is appropriate for both light structural and non-structural applications where high-alloy or hardened steel is not required.

Installation Notes

This flat stock is worked by machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and HVAC sheet metal technicians using standard cutting, drilling, and welding equipment. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting or grinding steel, including eye protection and gloves. Deburr all cut edges before fitting components to prevent injury and ensure flush contact. Follow applicable local codes and shop safety standards when welding or heat-treating this material.
