This bar stock is precision-ground and tolerance-controlled, making it suitable for layout, toolmaking, fixture building, and general machining applications. The C1018 low carbon steel composition provides good machinability and weldability. Dimensional tolerances are tightly held: length tolerance is plus 0.625 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and thickness and square tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians typically use this stock for fabrication and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for light fabrication, maintenance repair, and toolroom use in both commercial and industrial settings. The C1018 alloy machines cleanly and accepts welding without significant pre-treatment, making it a common choice when close-tolerance raw stock is needed for custom components, brackets, guides, and fixtures. Its precision width and thickness tolerances reduce secondary grinding or finishing time for critical fit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI Type C1018 low carbon steel for good machinability and weldability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24-inch length with plus 0.625-inch length tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance held to plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches for close-fit applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness and square tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch wide by 0.3125-inch thick cross section\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 1.06 pounds per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose low carbon steel flat bar for toolroom, fabrication, and maintenance applications requiring AISI C1018 material specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting, drilling, and shaping should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator using appropriate tooling for low carbon steel. Wear proper PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling and machining bar stock. De-burr all cut edges before use in assemblies.
