This flat stock ships at a weight of 1.19 pounds and is supplied in a pre-hardened condition, eliminating the need for additional heat treatment before use. Tight tolerances are held throughout: length tolerance is +0.125 inches, width tolerance is +0.005 inches, thickness tolerance is +0.001 inches, and squareness tolerance is held to 0.003 inches. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians use this bar stock in applications requiring strength, wear resistance, and dimensional consistency out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAISI\/SAE 4142 chromium-molybdenum alloy steel is a widely used engineering material in industrial, metalworking, and general manufacturing environments. This flat stock is suited for fabrication of fixtures, guides, wear plates, tooling components, and structural machine parts where a pre-hardened condition is required to reduce shop processing steps. Its consistent cross-section and controlled tolerances make it a practical choice for precision parts that require minimal stock removal before final fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI\/SAE Type 4142 chromium-molybdenum alloy steel construction for high strength and toughness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-hardened condition  -  no additional heat treatment required before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTight thickness tolerance of +0.001 inches for precision fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of +0.005 inches and squareness tolerance of 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of +0.125 inches allows for clean finish cuts to final dimension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 1.19 pounds  -  easy to handle as a single-piece flat bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard pre-hardened flat bar for general machining, toolmaking, and fabrication applications requiring AISI\/SAE Type 4142 alloy steel in flat stock form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is intended for use by machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators working with conventional milling, drilling, or grinding equipment. Pre-hardened stock requires carbide or high-speed tooling for machining; conventional high-speed steel tooling may wear rapidly. Always secure the workpiece firmly before cutting or drilling operations. Appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves should be worn when handling and machining steel bar stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI\/SAE Type 4142 Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pre-Hardened\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DRILL ROD TOOL STEELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 81174278\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972372365618,"sku":"81174278","price":64.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_fcf5c3f4-2066-4507-934e-55be0f90fe72.jpg?v=1789967061","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-81174278-flat-stock-4142-alloy-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
