Value Collection 316-63.5X304.8 Ss Round Rod 2.5in X 1ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316-63.5X304.8 is a 316 stainless steel round rod measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 1 foot in length. It is a solid, cold-finished or hot-rolled bar stock used across a wide range of fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. At 7.65 pounds, this rod provides substantial material for machining, welding, or structural use. The 316 alloy designation indicates molybdenum content, which improves corrosion resistance compared to 304 SS, making this rod well-suited for environments exposed to chlorides, saltwater, or chemical contact. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance tradespeople are the typical end users.

This rod is intended for multi-purpose industrial and commercial use. Its 316 stainless steel composition makes it appropriate for marine environments, chemical processing settings, food service equipment fabrication, and general corrosion-resistant structural work. The 2.5-inch diameter provides a heavy cross-section for lathe turning, milling, or as a base material for custom shaft, bushing, or fitting fabrication. It meets ASTM A276-91A standards, confirming material properties and dimensional tolerances expected in industrial supply applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or machining should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using tooling rated for stainless steel alloys. Stainless steel work hardens quickly, so appropriate feed rates and cutting fluids are recommended to prevent work hardening and tool wear. Always secure the workpiece properly before cutting operations. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear appropriate PPE when machining or grinding stainless steel.
