| Starrett's low carbon flat stock is a fine grained, vacuum degassed carbon steel. It is easily machined, has excellent weld ability and responds uniformly to case hardening.
The manganese content provides greater strength and hardness, compared to many other carbon steels. This stock is often used in its natural state for such applications as backup plate, stripper plates, punch pads and machine parts. As a case hardened material, it is used for jigs, fixtures, cams and patterns.
Other features:
- Long cutting tool life
- Fine finish and fast production
- Low machining costs
- Thoroughly stress relieved
- Savings up to 60 percent over tool steel flat stock
- For parts not requiring heat treated steels, use soft or case hardened
- Full-length identification -- cannot be confused with other steels
- ISO certified
