Value Collection 316-44.45X304.8 Ss Round Rod 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316-44.45X304.8 is a 316 stainless steel round rod measuring 1-3/4 inches in diameter and 1 foot in length. Manufactured to ASTM A276-91A standards, this solid rod is suited for fabrication, machining, welding, and general industrial use. The 316 alloy delivers strong corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich and marine environments, making it a reliable choice for applications where standard 304 stainless would fall short. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in food processing, marine, chemical, or HVAC-related structural applications regularly specify this grade and form factor.

This round rod is appropriate for a wide range of industrial and commercial fabrication tasks including custom brackets, shafts, pins, fasteners, and structural supports. Its multi-purpose designation means it can be cut, turned, drilled, or welded to suit job-specific requirements. The 1-foot length is practical for short-run machined components or replacement parts where a full bar length is unnecessary. Trade professionals working in facilities maintenance, mechanical contracting, or light manufacturing will find this rod straightforward to work with using standard metalworking tooling.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel alloy with superior chloride and corrosion resistance compared to 304 grade
• Manufactured to ASTM A276-91A standard for stainless steel bars and shapes
• 1-3/4 inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for load-bearing or high-wear applications
• 1-foot length minimizes waste for short-run fabrication or repair work
• Solid round bar form is compatible with standard lathe, mill, and drill operations
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece procurement for replacement or prototype work

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for MSC 62320601. Suitable as a general-purpose 316 stainless steel round rod for multi-purpose fabrication and machining applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining operations on stainless steel require appropriate tooling rated for hard alloys — use carbide-tipped tooling and adequate cutting fluid to prevent work hardening. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Welding 316 stainless should follow applicable AWS standards and be performed by qualified personnel. Deburr all cut ends before handling or installing into assemblies.
