Value Collection ER01.0X72 1045 Steel Round Rod 1x72 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ER01.0X72 is a 1045 medium carbon steel round rod supplied in a cold finish, mill condition. This solid round bar measures 1 inch in diameter and 72 inches in length, making it a standard stock size for machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance operations. The 1045 grade offers a balance of strength and machinability that suits a wide range of structural and mechanical applications. At 16.2 pounds, this bar ships as a single piece and is ready for cutting, turning, threading, or welding without additional surface prep in most applications.

This round rod is suited for general fabrication, tooling components, shafts, pins, axles, and structural supports in both light and heavy industrial settings. The cold finish process produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface compared to hot-rolled product, which is beneficial when the rod will be used as a shaft or fitted into a bore without additional turning. It is a common stock item for machine shops, maintenance departments, and metal fabricators working with carbon steel assemblies.

Key Features

• 1045 medium carbon steel grade for good strength and machinability balance
• Cold finish surface for tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother exterior
• 1 inch diameter by 72 inches length for versatile stock cutting
• Mill condition heat treatment — no additional heat processing applied
• Single-piece packaging suitable for individual project use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1045 medium carbon steel round bar stock suitable for machining, fabrication, and structural replacement applications requiring a 1 inch diameter cold finish round rod.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, turning, and threading operations on 1045 steel should be performed with tooling rated for medium carbon steel. Always use appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Secure the rod in a proper vise or chuck before machining to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes for metal fabrication operations.
