Starrett 55029 Steel Flat Stock 24x9x0.75 in Aisi C1018

Product Description

The STARRETT 55029 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 x 9 x 0.75 inches and manufactured to AISI Type C1018 material specification. C1018 is a mild, low carbon steel widely used in general fabrication, machining, and structural applications where weldability and machinability take priority over high strength. This flat stock ships as a single piece and is held to tight dimensional tolerances: length tolerance of plus 0.625 inches, width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and thickness and squareness tolerances of plus or minus 0.001 inches. At 45.92 pounds, it is suited for bench work, layout use, or raw stock machining by metalworking trades and fabricators.

C1018 flat bar stock of this size is commonly used in light structural fabrication, bracket manufacturing, fixture building, and maintenance repair operations. HVAC and plumbing fabrication shops use flat stock like this for custom supports, hangers, and equipment pads. The tight width and thickness tolerances make it appropriate for precision layout work and close-tolerance machining without requiring additional surface grinding on the broad faces.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of C1018 steel flat stock should be performed by qualified metalworking or fabrication personnel using appropriate tooling for mild steel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Follow applicable safety standards and workplace codes when handling stock of this weight and size. Secure the workpiece properly before any machining or cutting operation to prevent movement.
