Value Collection DB01.125X12 4140 Alloy Steel Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DB01.125X12 is a 4140 alloy steel round rod measuring 1.125 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. It ships with a hot rolled finish and arrives pre-hardened, making it ready for machining, fabrication, or direct use in structural and mechanical applications without additional heat treatment. At 3.41 pounds, it offers substantial mass for its size, reflecting the density and integrity of 4140 chromoly steel. Machinists, tool-and-die fabricators, and general metalworkers rely on 4140 stock for its balance of hardness, toughness, and machinability.

This round rod is suited for a wide range of industrial and shop applications including shaft stock, tooling components, pins, bolts, studs, and fixture elements. The pre-hardened condition means it can be machined to final dimensions and put into service in moderate-stress environments without additional hardening steps. It is commonly used in maintenance and repair operations, custom fabrication shops, and production environments where consistent alloy steel stock is required in manageable cut lengths.

Key Features

• 4140 chromoly alloy steel for reliable strength and toughness
• Pre-hardened condition eliminates the need for post-purchase heat treatment in most applications
• Hot rolled finish provides a clean, uniform surface suitable for machining
• 1.125-inch diameter round stock in a 12-inch cut length for versatile use
• 3.41-pound weight reflects solid, full-density steel construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-diameter alloy steel round rod for use as raw stock in machining, fabrication, and repair applications requiring 4140 grade material.

Installation Notes

Work with this rod using standard metal-cutting equipment such as band saws, lathes, or milling machines appropriate for alloy steel. Eye protection and proper workholding are required when cutting or machining. Because the rod is pre-hardened, carbide tooling is recommended over high-speed steel to extend tool life. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and OSHA standards for metalworking operations.
