THIS IS "NEW" PRECISION GROUND FLAT STOCK BY
No. 498 LOW CARBON PRECISION GROUND FLAT STOCK
5/16" THICK X 1" WIDE X 24" LONG
* Substantial cost reductions over tool steel ground flat stock. There are savings up to 60% because this is a low carbon steel and furnished in 24" lengths. This means that you get one-third more steel at less cost
* Ideal for a wide variety of parts that don't require more expensive heat treated steels, such as stripper plates, jigs, fixtures, machine and component parts, templates, etc.
* This steel can be carburized or case hardened. After hardening, its physical properties, especially tensile strength, yield point, and Brinell hardness, are substantially higher
* NOTE: Thicknesses of 1/8" and under are made from AISI 1010 material
* The Starrett Company uses its own ground flat stock for many of its precision tool parts
Starrett No. 498 Low Carbon Precision Ground Flat Stock is a .20 carbon fine-grained, killed steel which can be carburized or case hardened. Very similar to AISI 1018.
For many applications, stock can be used unhardened. However, if surface hardening is desired, it can be carburized or case hardened. If carburized, a case of 1/32" will be obtained if the steel is held in carburizing salt at 1700 F for three hours.
