Value Collection 303-9.525X1829 Ss Round Rod 3/8in 6ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 303-9.525X1829 is a 303 stainless steel round rod measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 6 feet in length. Grade 303 stainless steel is a free-machining austenitic alloy known for its excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance, making it a standard choice for turned, ground, and polished components. This rod meets ASTM A484 and ASTM A582 standards, confirming it is produced and tested to recognized material and dimensional requirements. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance professionals use this stock for shafts, pins, spacers, and general shop applications.

This round rod is suited for multi-purpose industrial and fabrication use across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Common applications include the production of fasteners, fittings, valve components, and precision-machined parts where moderate corrosion resistance and ease of machining are required. The 6-foot length provides practical stock for shop cutting and custom fabrication runs.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using tooling appropriate for stainless steel alloys. Carbide or high-speed steel tooling with proper lubrication is typically recommended when turning or drilling 303 stainless. Secure the workpiece properly before any cutting operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling or machining bar stock.
