It measures 1.5 inches thick, 4 inches wide, and 24 inches long, and weighs 40.8 pounds. C1018 is a general-purpose low carbon steel known for consistent machinability, weldability, and moderate strength, making it a practical choice for fabrication, repair, and tooling applications. Tight tolerances are held across all three dimensions: plus or minus 0.001 inch on thickness and squareness, plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch on width, and plus 0.625 inch on length. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and fabricators rely on this stock for layout work, fixture building, and structural component fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light structural fabrication. The C1018 grade responds well to turning, milling, drilling, and welding without requiring special tooling or preheat procedures under most shop conditions. The 24-inch length and 4-inch width give fabricators a workable blank for a wide range of cut-to-size applications. The 1.5-inch thickness provides enough cross-section for load-bearing brackets, spacers, and mounting plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type C1018 low carbon steel for reliable machinability and weldability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness and squareness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch for precision fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch ensures consistent width at or above nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.625 inch provides extra material for face-trimming to final length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40.8 pound piece weight suitable for bench and fixture work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose low carbon steel flat bar for machining, fabrication, and maintenance applications where AISI C1018 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting, drilling, and welding of C1018 steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators following applicable shop safety procedures. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before machining to prevent movement. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Verify final dimensions against print tolerances after any facing or trimming operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI Type C1018 Low Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.625 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55071\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539549258034,"sku":"55071","price":946.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4d5ffb3ae28a26f46e95460f2f70f3a2_1bc22c92-4520-4b7f-9142-aafbc06d3400.jpg?v=1785842853","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-55071-low-carbon-steel-flat-stock-c1018","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
