Value Collection 0008572-MSC 74685694 Ss Round Rod 7/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0008572-MSC 74685694 is a 17-4 PH stainless steel round rod measuring 7/16 inches in diameter and 6 feet in length. 17-4 PH is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel known for its high strength, moderate corrosion resistance, and good machinability. At 3.07 pounds, this rod is well suited for fabrication, tooling, and structural applications where strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance are both required. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals working in demanding environments commonly specify 17-4 PH stock for shafts, pins, fasteners, and custom components.

This round rod is used across a range of industrial and trade applications including HVAC equipment fabrication, pump and valve component machining, and general maintenance repair. Its 6-foot length provides enough stock for multiple cut-to-length parts in a single piece. The 17-4 PH alloy performs reliably in moderately corrosive environments and under mechanical stress, making it a common choice in both light industrial and commercial settings where standard 304 or 316 stainless would be insufficient.

Key Features

• 17-4 PH precipitation-hardening stainless steel alloy for high strength and corrosion resistance
• 7/16 inch diameter round rod profile suitable for machining, turning, and grinding
• 6-foot length provides versatile stock for multiple cut-to-length applications
• Weighs 3.07 pounds — manageable single-piece stock for bench or shop use
• UNSPSC Code 30102405 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round rod stock for machining and fabrication applications requiring 7/16 inch diameter 17-4 PH stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Cutting, machining, or grinding 17-4 PH stainless steel should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for hardened stainless alloys. Always wear proper PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling or cutting rod stock. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or machining operation to prevent movement and ensure accurate results.
