Starrett 55030 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x10x0.75 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 55030 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 24 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick, conforming to AISI Type C1018 material specification. This flat stock is precision-cut cold-finished mild steel used in fabrication, machining, welding, and general metalworking applications. Tolerances are tightly controlled: length runs long at plus 0.625 inches, width is held to plus 0.000 to 0.015 inches, and both thickness and squareness are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches. At 51 pounds per piece, this bar is suited for structural fixtures, brackets, mounting plates, and tooling bases where dimensional consistency matters.

This flat stock is commonly used in industrial fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include custom brackets, jigs, fixtures, wear plates, and structural support components. The C1018 low carbon chemistry offers good weldability and machinability, making it a practical choice for general-purpose shop work where high-alloy steel is not required. It is sold as a single piece per package.

Key Features

• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order multiplier beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat bar stock for use in fabrication, machining, and structural applications where AISI C1018 low carbon steel meets material specification requirements.

Installation Notes

This flat stock is typically cut, drilled, welded, or machined by metalworkers and machinists using standard shop equipment. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding steel. Secure the workpiece properly before machining to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when processing this material.
