This cold-drawn flat stock is a standard raw material used in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications across mechanical, industrial, and trade settings. The piece weighs 1.7 pounds and is held to close tolerances: plus or minus 0.001 inches on thickness and square, plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches on width, and plus 0.625 inches on length. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance techs, and millwrights rely on C1018 flat stock for its consistent dimensions and good machinability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for general-purpose fabrication tasks including brackets, spacers, shims, support plates, and custom repair components. Its square cross-section and tight tolerances make it appropriate for applications where dimensional consistency matters before machining or welding. It is commonly used in light industrial, commercial, and residential mechanical installations where a reliable low carbon steel stock is needed for on-site or shop fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI Type C1018 low carbon steel for consistent machinability and weldability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 x 0.5 inch square cross-section held to plus or minus 0.001 inch thickness and square tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches for predictable fit in close-tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24-inch nominal length with plus 0.625-inch length tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.7-pound piece weight suitable for single-piece handling and cutting to length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose low carbon steel flat stock suitable for fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications requiring AISI C1018 material specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is raw stock material intended to be cut, drilled, welded, or machined to final dimensions before installation.
