Starrett 54915 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x3x5/32 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54915 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 24 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 5/32 inch thick. Manufactured to AISI Type C1018 specification, this flat stock offers consistent machinability and weldability suited to general fabrication work. Tolerances are held tight: length runs to a positive 0.625 inch, width holds a plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch tolerance, and both thickness and squareness are controlled to plus or minus 0.001 inch. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades use C1018 flat stock for brackets, spacers, plates, and structural weldments where predictable material behavior and clean surface condition matter.

This flat stock is suited to light-duty structural and mechanical fabrication in commercial and industrial settings. Common applications include shop-fabricated mounting brackets, shim stock bases, fixture components, and general repair weldments. The 24-inch length is a standard cut size used in machine shops and maintenance departments that require material ready to saw, drill, or mill without additional raw stock processing. It ships as a single piece per package.

Installation Notes

Handling and cutting of steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate metal-cutting equipment and personal protective equipment. Deburr all cut edges before assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. When welding C1018 material, follow applicable AWS welding procedures and verify that any associated structural work meets local building or mechanical codes. Store flat stock horizontally on a flat surface to prevent warping.
