Starrett 54918 Low Carbon Flat Steel Stock 5/32" x 5" x 24"

The Starrett 54918 is a precision low carbon flat steel stock measuring 5/32" thick x 5" wide x 24" long. This versatile steel stock is manufactured to Starrett's exacting standards for dimensional accuracy and consistency, making it ideal for tool making, machine shop applications, and precision metalworking projects.

Key Features:

• Low carbon steel composition suitable for applications where deep hardening is not required
• Can be carburized or case hardened to increase surface hardness while maintaining a softer core
• Precision ground flat stock with tight tolerances for accurate machining
• Dimensions: 5/32" thickness x 5" width x 24" length
• Excellent machinability for cutting, drilling, milling, and forming operations

Low carbon steel flat stock is commonly used for jigs, fixtures, templates, brackets, and general fabrication work where moderate strength and good workability are required. The material's lower carbon content provides excellent weldability and formability compared to higher carbon steels.
