Value Collection 26154 440C Stainless Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 26154 is a 440C stainless steel flat stock bar sized at 24 inches overall length, 1-1/2 inches overall width, and 1/4 inch thickness. This high-carbon martensitic stainless steel flat bar is a standard raw material used in fabrication, tooling, maintenance, and industrial repair applications. The 440C grade provides a combination of corrosion resistance and hardness that makes it suitable for precision-fit components, jigs, fixtures, and wear parts. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in demanding shop or field environments rely on this material for custom part production and structural detail work.

This flat stock is appropriate for light fabrication and precision machining applications in both commercial and industrial settings. Its dimensions make it well-suited for creating brackets, guides, wear plates, shims, and similar components. The bar ships as a single piece per package, making it practical for prototyping or single-unit repair jobs as well as small production runs. Tolerances are held to industry-standard levels for flat bar stock of this grade.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and shaping of 440C stainless steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for hardened stainless alloys. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or grinding operation. When heat treating 440C stock, follow established metallurgical procedures for this grade, as improper heat treatment can reduce toughness. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves during all handling and machining operations.
