Starrett 54910 Steel Flat Stock 24x1x5/32 in Aisi C1018

Product Description

The STARRETT 54910 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar machined to AISI Type C1018 specification. It measures 24 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 5/32 inch thick, making it a standard profile for fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. The C1018 designation indicates a mild, low carbon steel with good machinability and weldability. Width tolerance is held to plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and length tolerance is plus 0.625 inches. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and fabricators rely on this bar stock for precision fit-up work where tight dimensional control is required.

This flat stock is suited for general industrial fabrication, repair shops, and OEM production environments. It is commonly used as a base material for brackets, shims, supports, keys, and other structural or mechanical components in light to medium-duty applications. The 24-inch length is a practical cut size for bench work and manual machining operations. It ships in single-piece quantities, appropriate for prototype runs, job-specific repairs, or low-volume production.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is worked by machinists, fabricators, and millwrights using standard metalworking tools including band saws, drill presses, and MIG or TIG welding equipment. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or heat-treating. Deburr cut edges before final assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper mating surfaces.
