Starrett 55036 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x2x0.875 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 55036 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 x 2 x 0.875 inches and manufactured to AISI Type C1018 material specification. It is a general-purpose machined flat stock used in fabrication, tooling, fixturing, and maintenance work across machine shops, industrial facilities, and trade workshops. The piece ships as a single bar weighing 11.9 pounds. Dimensional tolerances are held tightly: length tolerance is plus 0.625 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and both thickness and square tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches. These close tolerances make this bar suitable for precision layout and structural component work.

This flat stock is suited for general metalworking applications where consistent cross-section and controlled tolerances are required. Typical uses include manufacturing jigs and fixtures, machine bases, support brackets, and structural weldments in light industrial and maintenance environments. AISI C1018 low carbon steel offers good machinability and weldability, making it a common choice for fabricators and machinists working on production or one-off parts that do not require high-alloy or hardened material.

Key Features

• AISI Type C1018 low carbon steel construction for good machinability and weldability
• Tight thickness and square tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise fitment
• Width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches supports close-clearance applications
• Length tolerance of plus 0.625 inches provides material for finishing to final dimension
• Single-piece packaging at 11.9 pounds, ready for immediate use or further processing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension flat bar for general metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications requiring AISI C1018 low carbon steel stock in a 24 x 2 x 0.875 inch profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding this flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate metal-cutting equipment and personal protective equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before machining to maintain dimensional accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or grinding. De-burr all cut edges before handling or assembly.
