Starrett 54980 Steel Flat Stock 3/8x10x24 in C1018

Product Description

The STARRETT 54980 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 3/8 inch thick. Manufactured to AISI Type C1018 specification, this material offers consistent machinability, weldability, and mild hardness typical of low carbon steel. Thickness and squareness are held to a tight plus or minus 0.001 inch tolerance, and width tolerance is controlled at plus 0.000 to 0.015 inch. Length tolerance is plus 0.625 inch. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades use flat stock like this for brackets, supports, shims, wear plates, and general structural fabrication work.

This flat stock is suited to light fabrication and repair applications across commercial and industrial environments. It is a common material choice for HVAC equipment bases, ductwork support brackets, plumbing hangers, and general shop fabrication. The 24 by 10 inch footprint and 3/8 inch thickness make it usable as-received for many tasks or easy to cut and drill to custom dimensions on standard shop equipment. It ships as a single piece per unit.
