Value Collection 0000003582-MSC 75284992 Ss Rectangular Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0000003582-MSC 75284992 is a 303 stainless steel rectangular rod cut to a 12-inch overall length, 1-1/4-inch width, and 3/4-inch thickness. Grade 303 stainless steel is a free-machining austenitic alloy well suited for high-volume machining operations where surface finish and dimensional consistency matter. The sulfur addition in 303 improves chip breakage and tool life compared to 304, making this rod a practical raw stock choice for lathe and mill work. At 3.19 pounds per piece, it is sized for single-unit fabrication jobs in maintenance shops, machine shops, and industrial facilities.

This rectangular rod serves as raw material stock for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on brackets, fixtures, spacers, shafts, and structural components requiring corrosion resistance. It is appropriate for food-service equipment, marine hardware, and chemical processing applications where moderate corrosion resistance is acceptable. The bar is supplied in a single-piece package and is ready for immediate cutting, drilling, or milling without additional preparation.
