Value Collection DB03.0X12 4140 Steel Round Rod 3x12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DB03.0X12 is a 4140 alloy steel round rod measuring 3 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. It ships in a hot rolled finish and arrives pre-hardened, making it ready for machining, fabrication, or tooling applications without requiring additional heat treatment steps. At 24.28 pounds, this is a solid, dense bar stock suited for high-stress components. Machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die professionals work with 4140 alloy steel for its combination of toughness, wear resistance, and strength. The pre-hardened condition reduces prep time on the shop floor.

This round rod is used in general industrial and metalworking applications where a strong, wear-resistant alloy steel bar stock is needed. Typical applications include shafts, pins, bolts, tool holders, fixtures, and structural machine components. The 3-inch diameter and 12-inch length make it a practical starting blank for lathe work or milling operations. It is appropriate for both job shop environments and in-house maintenance machining in industrial facilities.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is worked by machinists and metal fabricators using standard turning, milling, or grinding equipment. Secure the rod properly in the chuck or fixture before cutting to prevent movement under load. Use appropriate cutting tools rated for hardened alloy steel and follow shop safety protocols including eye protection and chip management. Consult material safety data and machine specifications before beginning operations on pre-hardened stock.
