Value Collection MR01.25X36 420 Esr Ss Round Rod 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MR01.25X36 is a 420 ESR stainless steel round rod measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 3 feet in length. This rod is produced using the electro-slag remelting (ESR) process, which reduces sulfide inclusions and improves internal cleanliness, surface quality, and machinability compared to standard 420 stainless. The decarb-free finish means the outer surface retains the same carbon content and hardness as the core, eliminating the need to machine away a decarburized surface layer before use. At 12.96 pounds, this rod suits applications where precise material properties from surface to center are required.

420 ESR stainless steel round rod is used in manufacturing, tooling, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include machined shafts, pins, valve components, pump internals, and tooling fixtures where corrosion resistance combined with moderate-to-high hardness is required. Trade machinists, maintenance engineers, and fabricators working in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and pump-service environments select this grade when tight tolerances and clean surface stock are priorities. The 3-foot length is a standard stock size for machining and fabrication shops.

Key Features

• 420 ESR grade stainless steel with improved internal cleanliness from the electro-slag remelting process
• Decarb-free surface — consistent hardness and carbon content from surface to core
• 1-1/4 inch diameter provides a common stock size for shaft, pin, and valve component machining
• 3-foot length suits standard lathe and mill setups without additional cutting
• 12.96 pound weight reflects solid cross-section — appropriate for structural and wear-surface applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard stock round rod for machining and fabrication applications requiring 420 ESR stainless steel at 1-1/4 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, and drilling should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for stainless steel. Secure workpiece properly before machining to prevent movement. When used in fluid-handling or pressure-rated assemblies, all finished components must be inspected and verified against applicable system or code requirements before installation. Follow shop safety protocols for metal cutting, including eye protection and chip management.
