Value Collection 0008708-MSC 75274456 Ss Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0008708-MSC 75274456 is a 17-4 PH stainless steel round rod used in precision machining, fabrication, and structural applications. Measuring 2.125 inches in diameter and 3 feet in length, this rod is drawn from 17-4 PH stainless steel, a precipitation-hardening grade known for its high tensile strength, moderate corrosion resistance, and good machinability compared to austenitic grades. It is suited for lathe turning, milling, and custom part fabrication in industrial, marine, and OEM manufacturing environments. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this material.

This round rod is appropriate for applications requiring a combination of strength and corrosion resistance where standard 304 or 316 stainless would be insufficient. Typical uses include shafts, bushings, valve components, aerospace hardware, and pump components. At 2.125 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, the stock size suits medium to large turned or machined parts without the need for additional joining. It is equally applicable in job-shop environments and in-house maintenance machining operations.

Key Features

• 17-4 PH precipitation-hardening stainless steel for elevated strength after heat treatment
• 2.125-inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for turned or bored components
• 3-foot length yields usable bar stock without excessive cutoff waste
• Corrosion-resistant alloy suitable for wet, marine, and chemical-adjacent environments
• Consistent round cross-section ready for lathe chuck or steady-rest setup

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose 17-4 PH stainless steel bar stock for custom machined parts, replacement shafts, and fabricated components across industrial and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, or milling of 17-4 PH stainless steel should be performed by qualified machinists using tooling rated for hardened stainless alloys. Use cutting fluid appropriate for stainless steel to prevent work hardening at the tool interface. Secure the rod firmly in a chuck or vise before any cutting operation to prevent movement under load. Follow applicable shop safety standards for rotating stock and metal chip handling.
