Starrett 58289 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock C1018

Product Description

The STARRETT 58289 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar made to AISI Type C1018 material specification. It measures 24 inches in length with a 2.5 inch width and 2.5 inch thickness. At 42.49 pounds, this is a solid, machinable bar stock suited for fabrication, repair work, and custom part manufacturing. Tight tolerances are held across all three dimensions: plus 0.625 inches on length, plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches on width, and plus or minus 0.001 inches on both thickness and squareness. C1018 is a low carbon steel known for good weldability, machinability, and consistent mechanical properties.

This flat stock is used in general fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade shops where precision-cut bar stock is needed for brackets, spacers, mounts, and structural components. The controlled tolerances make it suitable for applications requiring consistent fitment without secondary grinding. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly work with C1018 flat bar in both industrial and commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding of C1018 steel flat bar should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling and personal protective equipment. Always de-burr cut edges before handling or fitting into assemblies. When welding, follow applicable AWS guidelines and ensure proper ventilation in the work area. Store flat stock horizontally on a flat surface to prevent warping or bowing.
