Starrett 54897 Low Carbon Flat Steel Stock 1/8" x 1-1/2" x 24"

The Starrett 54897 is a precision flat steel stock made from low carbon steel, measuring 1/8 inch thick by 1-1/2 inches wide by 24 inches long. This versatile material is ideal for toolmaking, prototyping, manufacturing fixtures, and general machining applications where deep hardening is not required.

Key Features:

• Precision ground flat stock with consistent dimensions
• Low carbon steel composition suitable for carburizing or case hardening
• Dimensions: 1/8" thickness x 1-1/2" width x 24" length
• Excellent machinability for drilling, milling, and cutting operations
• Can be heat treated for surface hardening when wear resistance is needed
• Manufactured by Starrett to exacting quality standards

Low carbon steel flat stock is commonly used in applications requiring good formability and weldability without the need for through-hardening. The material can be easily machined to custom shapes and sizes, making it an excellent choice for job shops, maintenance departments, and DIY fabrication projects. When surface hardness is required, this stock can be carburized or case hardened to achieve a wear-resistant outer layer while maintaining a tough, ductile core.
