Starrett 55005 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x1.5x0.625 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 55005 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches in length, 1.5 inches in width, and 0.625 inches in thickness. Manufactured to AISI Type C1018 specification, this flat stock delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with tight tolerances across thickness, width, and length. It weighs 6.38 pounds per piece. The C1018 designation indicates a low carbon content that supports machining, welding, and moderate forming operations. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople use this material as a starting blank for brackets, spacers, keys, and general structural components where close dimensional control is required.

This flat stock suits general industrial fabrication, MRO maintenance applications, and light structural work in shop and field environments. The controlled tolerances make it well suited for applications requiring predictable fits and minimal secondary material removal. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance departments where a machinable, weldable carbon steel bar stock is needed in a ready-to-use cut length.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose AISI C1018 low carbon steel flat bar for use in fabrication, machining, and maintenance applications requiring a machinable and weldable carbon steel flat stock in a 24 x 1.5 x 0.625-inch cut size.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining operations on carbon steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or grinding operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local regulations when welding or heat-treating C1018 steel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or fitting into an assembly.
