Value Collection 0129627-MSC 74685223 Ss Rectangular Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0129627-MSC 74685223 is a 17-4 PH stainless steel rectangular rod intended for use in precision machining, fabrication, and tooling applications. The rod measures 12 inches in overall length, 1-1/4 inches in width, and 1 inch in thickness. Width tolerance is plus or minus 0.0310 inches and thickness tolerance is 0.0150 inches, making it suitable for applications that require controlled dimensional accuracy. At 4.25 pounds, the piece is solid and ready for cutting, milling, or further forming. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this material.

This rectangular rod is used in industrial and commercial fabrication environments where corrosion resistance and moderate-to-high strength are required. The 17-4 PH alloy grade offers precipitation-hardening characteristics, making it a common choice for components in aerospace, food processing, chemical processing, and general manufacturing. It is suited for shops and job sites where bar stock is cut to length and machined into finished parts or fixtures.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 17-4 PH stainless steel bar stock suitable for machining, fabrication, and tooling operations requiring corrosion-resistant alloy material in rectangular rod form.

Installation Notes

This material is handled and processed by machinists and metal fabricators using standard metalworking equipment such as band saws, mills, and lathes. Secure the workpiece properly in a vise or fixture before cutting or machining to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluids and tooling rated for stainless steel alloys to avoid work hardening the material surface. Follow applicable shop safety protocols, including eye protection and proper chip management, when machining stainless steel bar stock.
