Value Collection 17-4 Ph Stainless Steel Round Rod 3 in 1 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0008743- MSC 75274654 is a 17-4 PH stainless steel round rod measuring 3 inches in diameter and 1 foot in length. This grade of precipitation-hardening stainless steel delivers a strong combination of high tensile strength, good corrosion resistance, and moderate machinability. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance environments where dimensional accuracy and material consistency are required. At 24.06 pounds, this rod is well-suited for heavy-duty component machining, tooling fixtures, and custom part production.

This round rod is appropriate for applications in aerospace, oil and gas, food processing, and general industrial manufacturing where 17-4 PH stainless steel is specified. It is typically worked by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance fabricators who require a reliable raw stock bar in a standard round profile. The 3-inch diameter makes it suitable for turning on a lathe to produce shafts, bushings, pins, and structural components that demand corrosion-resistant properties.

Key Features

• 17-4 PH stainless steel alloy provides precipitation-hardening capability for high-strength applications
• 3-inch diameter round profile suits large-diameter turning and milling operations
• 1-foot length offers a manageable stock size for single-component machining
• Corrosion-resistant material suitable for wet, chemical, or food-grade environments
• Consistent round cross-section supports accurate setup and reduced material prep time

Compatibility

Designed as a standard raw-stock round rod for use in any machining or fabrication application that specifies 17-4 PH stainless steel bar stock in a 3-inch diameter round profile.

Installation Notes

This rod is a raw material stock item worked by machinists and fabricators using lathes, milling machines, and metal-cutting band saws. Secure the workpiece properly in the chuck or vise before cutting or turning operations. Use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for 17-4 PH stainless steel, as this alloy work-hardens and requires sharp tooling to prevent surface damage. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling or machining metal bar stock.
