Starrett 54928 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x3x3/16 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54928 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 x 3 x 3/16 inches and manufactured to AISI Type C1018 material specification. This flat bar is used as raw material stock for fabrication, machining, and general metalworking applications. At 3.82 pounds per piece, it offers a manageable size for bench work and light structural use. Tolerances are held to +/- 0.001 inch on thickness and squareness, +0.000 to +0.005 inch on width, and +0.625 inch on length, making it suitable for applications that require predictable, close-tolerance stock before finish machining.

This flat stock is a standard choice for machine shops, maintenance facilities, fabrication shops, and industrial service environments. C1018 low carbon steel machines cleanly, welds readily, and responds well to surface grinding and drilling. It is commonly used for brackets, spacers, shims, keys, wear plates, and other machined components where high strength alloy steel is not required. Tradespeople and machinists working in HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing support structures, and general facility maintenance will find this a practical, versatile stock piece.
