Value Collection MF1.0X01.0X36 420 Esr Ss Rectangular Rod 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MF1.0X01.0X36 is a 420 ESR stainless steel rectangular rod measuring 36 inches in overall length with a 1 inch by 1 inch cross section. Grade 420 ESR (Electro-Slag Remelted) stainless steel delivers higher cleanliness and tighter internal quality than standard 420, making it well suited for precision machined components, tooling, mold components, and wear-resistant parts. At 11.94 pounds per piece, this bar stock ships as a single unit and is ready for saw cutting, milling, grinding, or turning operations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fabricators working with corrosion-resistant or hardened-steel applications will find this rod appropriate for demanding use cases.

This rectangular rod is intended for use in industrial metalworking, tool and die fabrication, mold making, and general precision machining environments. It suits applications where a martensitic stainless steel with good edge retention and moderate corrosion resistance is required. The ESR process produces a uniform microstructure that reduces voids and inclusions, which is particularly important when machining to tight tolerances or when the finished part will be heat treated or hardened. It is appropriate for both shop and production floor environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 420 ESR stainless steel rectangular bar for machining, tooling, and fabrication applications requiring martensitic stainless steel in a 1 inch by 1 inch by 36 inch form factor.

Installation Notes

Handling and cutting of steel bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate metalworking equipment. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before any cutting or machining operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. If heat treating after machining, follow established protocols for 420 series stainless steel and consult material data sheets for hardening temperatures and quench procedures.
