Value Collection MF1.25X01.5X36 420 Esr Ss Rectangular Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MF1.25X01.5X36 is a 420 ESR stainless steel rectangular rod measuring 36 inches in overall length, 1-1/2 inches in overall width, and 1-1/4 inches in thickness. Weighing 21.32 pounds, this rod is manufactured from 420 ESR (electro-slag remelted) stainless steel, a grade known for its improved cleanliness, tighter inclusion control, and consistent mechanical properties compared to standard 420 stainless. It is used in toolmaking, machining, and fabrication applications where dimensional consistency and material integrity are required. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabricators work with this stock in job shops and industrial settings.

This rectangular rod is suited for applications requiring a hardenable martensitic stainless steel with good surface quality and predictable tolerances. The ESR process refines the microstructure, making this grade a common choice for mold bases, die components, precision tooling, and structural parts that will see grinding or finishing operations. It ships as a single piece and is ready for saw cutting, milling, or turning on conventional or CNC equipment.
