Product Description

The STARRETT 54913 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 5/32 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 24 inches long. Manufactured to AISI Type C1018 material specification, this flat stock delivers consistent machinability and weldability suited to general fabrication, tooling, fixturing, and maintenance applications. Thickness and square tolerances are held 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. At 2.13 pounds, the bar is easy to handle and cut to length on the bench or in the field.

C1018 low carbon steel flat stock is a standard choice for machine shops, maintenance departments, fabrication shops, and industrial facilities. It is commonly used to fabricate brackets, shims, keys, guides, spacers, and structural supports. The 24-inch length suits both short production runs and one-off repair work. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical end users for this material form.

Installation Notes

Raw flat stock is cut, drilled, or machined by qualified tradespeople using standard metalworking equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when cutting or deburring. Deburr all cut edges before final assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper seating. If welding, follow applicable AWS procedures for low carbon steel and ensure adequate ventilation.
