It measures 3\/8 inch thick, 7 inches wide, and 24 inches long, weighing approximately 17.86 pounds. C1018 is a general-purpose low carbon steel widely used in fabrication, toolmaking, and structural applications where moderate strength and good machinability are required. Dimensional tolerances are tightly controlled: length tolerance is plus 0.625 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and both thickness and squareness tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches. This stock is suited for shops, machine trades, and fabricators needing ready-to-cut flat bar with consistent geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is used across industrial, commercial, and trade applications including HVAC bracket fabrication, plumbing support structures, electrical panel framing components, and general metalworking. Its low carbon content makes it readily weldable, drillable, and machinable with standard shop tooling. It is a common choice when material traceability to an AISI specification is required for a project or job record. Sold individually as a single bar per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type C1018 low carbon steel for good weldability and machinability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch thickness with plus or minus 0.001 inch tolerance for consistent fit in fabricated assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 inch width with tight plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 inch length with plus 0.625 inch length tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance held to plus or minus 0.001 inches for accurate layout and cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17.86 pound bar weight suitable for bench or vise work without additional handling equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose low carbon steel flat bar for fabrication, structural support, and machining applications where AISI C1018 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting, drilling, and welding of C1018 steel flat stock should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before cutting or machining. When welding, follow applicable AWS and local code requirements for low carbon steel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or assembly to prevent injury and to ensure proper fit-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI Type C1018 Low Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.86 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54977\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542209003826,"sku":"54977","price":604.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4d5ffb3ae28a26f46e95460f2f70f3a2_bb0bad69-e0a5-4a43-9ebb-ba0774b355bb.jpg?v=1785895155","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-54977-low-carbon-steel-flat-stock-c1018","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
