Value Collection MF1.0X02.0X36 420 Esr Ss Rectangular Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MF1.0X02.0X36 is a 420 ESR stainless steel rectangular rod measuring 36 inches in overall length, 2 inches in overall width, and 1 inch in thickness. Grade 420 ESR (Electro Slag Remelted) stainless steel delivers improved cleanliness, tighter carbide distribution, and enhanced hardenability compared to standard 420 stainless. This rod is used in precision machining, tooling, and fabrication applications where tight dimensional tolerances and corrosion resistance are required. It weighs 22.54 pounds and ships as a single piece. Machinists, tool and die makers, and metal fabricators are the primary users of this stock form.

This rectangular rod suits applications in mold making, die components, tooling fixtures, knife blanks, and general precision fabrication. The 420 ESR grade is well suited for components that require a polished finish or hardened cutting edges. The electroslag remelting process reduces inclusions and segregation, making this material a reliable choice for demanding machining environments where surface integrity matters. It is appropriate for both prototype and production runs.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of stainless steel stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate carbide or high-speed steel tooling. Secure the rod firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. Follow standard shop safety protocols including eye protection and proper chip management when machining stainless steel. Hardening heat treatment, if required, should follow the material manufacturer guidelines for grade 420 stainless.
