Value Collection 58324 A36 Steel Flat Stock 24x0.5x0.125 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 58324 is an AISI A36 low carbon steel flat bar cut to 24 inches in length, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.125 inches thick. A36 is a structural-grade mild steel widely used in fabrication, repair work, and general metalworking applications. This flat stock ships as a single piece and weighs approximately 0.48 pounds. Dimensional tolerances are tightly held: length runs plus 0.062 inches, width is held to plus 0.005 to minus 0.000 inches, and both thickness and squareness are controlled to plus or minus 0.001 inches. Machinists, welders, millwrights, and maintenance trades stock this material for brackets, shims, supports, and custom fabricated parts.

A36 low carbon steel flat stock is a staple in light fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and field repair kits. At 0.125 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide, this piece is well suited for small brackets, spacers, strap reinforcements, and weld-on tabs across both residential and commercial maintenance settings. It is machinable, weldable, and accepts most standard coatings and finishes without pre-treatment issues. The 24-inch length provides enough material for most single-piece applications without requiring additional cutting operations.

Installation Notes

Work with standard metalworking tools including angle grinders, band saws, drill presses, and MIG or stick welders rated for mild steel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection during cutting and welding operations. Deburr all cut edges before installation in assemblies to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. Follow applicable facility safety codes and welding standards when incorporating this material into structural or load-bearing applications.
