Value Collection ER01.5X12 1045 Steel Round Rod 1.5x12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ER01.5X12 is a 1045 medium-carbon steel round rod measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Cold-finished to a mill condition, this rod offers consistent dimensional tolerances and a smooth surface suitable for machining, fabrication, and general structural applications. At 6.2 pounds, it is a solid, dense stock piece appropriate for shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors who need reliable steel bar stock on hand. The 1045 grade provides moderate strength and good machinability, making it a practical choice for shafts, pins, studs, and similar turned or milled components.

This round rod is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication environments, and industrial maintenance settings. Its cold-finish surface condition means it arrives closer to final dimension than hot-rolled alternatives, reducing the amount of material removal required before machining. It is appropriate for producing small shafts, fixture components, tooling bases, and general-purpose mechanical parts where 1045 medium-carbon steel meets the required material specification.

Key Features

• 1045 medium-carbon steel grade for moderate strength and reliable machinability
• Cold-finish surface condition provides tighter dimensional tolerances than hot-rolled bar
• 1.5 inch diameter and 12 inch length ready for immediate use or further machining
• Mill heat treatment condition suitable for most standard fabrication and turning operations
• Weighs 6.2 pounds, consistent with solid 1045 steel at this cross-section

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1045 medium-carbon steel round rod for machining and fabrication applications requiring a 1.5 inch diameter, 12 inch length cold-finish bar stock.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, or drilling this rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling for medium-carbon steel. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or chuck before any cutting operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling or machining steel bar stock. Cut edges and machined surfaces may be sharp - deburr thoroughly before handling or assembly.
