Value Collection 0009439-MSC 83078584 Hex Bar 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0009439-MSC 83078584 is a 316 stainless steel hexagon bar measuring 7/8 inch across the flats and 12 inches in overall length. Hexagon bar stock is used as raw material for machining, fabrication, and fastener production. The 316 alloy grade provides elevated corrosion resistance compared to 304, making it suitable for marine, chemical processing, and food-service environments where chloride exposure is a concern. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians cut, drill, or mill this bar to produce custom components, shafts, standoffs, and fittings. At 2.26 pounds, the piece is easy to handle on a bench or in a vise.

This hexagon bar is well suited for workshops, production floors, and field fabrication applications requiring a corrosion-resistant material. Common uses include custom fastener blanks, valve stems, pump components, and structural fittings in environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The 12-inch length provides useful stock for short-run parts without excessive material waste. Residential and commercial mechanical contractors, marine fabricators, and industrial maintenance crews all work with this type of bar stock when a standard off-the-shelf fastener or fitting is not available.

Key Features

• 316 alloy stainless steel provides superior chloride and corrosion resistance versus 304
• 7/8 inch width across flats suits standard hex tooling and fixturing
• 12-inch length offers practical stock for short-run machined parts
• Hexagonal profile allows positive gripping in a lathe chuck or vise without slipping
• Single-piece quantity simplifies procurement for low-volume or prototype work

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose 316 stainless steel hex bar stock for machining and fabrication applications requiring 7/8 inch across-flats stock in 12-inch lengths.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a metal-cutting band saw, cold saw, or abrasive cutoff wheel rated for stainless steel. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or chuck before machining to prevent movement. Use cutting fluids appropriate for stainless steel to extend tool life and reduce work hardening. Follow applicable shop safety and OSHA guidelines when operating cutting or turning equipment.
