Value Collection Round Rod 1-1/16 in 17-4 Ph Stainless 1 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0008643-MSC 74685850 is a 17-4 PH stainless steel round rod stocked in a one-foot length with a 1-1/16 inch diameter. 17-4 PH is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless alloy known for high tensile strength, good corrosion resistance, and hardness levels that exceed standard 304 or 316 grades. This rod is suited for precision machining, fabrication, and custom component work in trade and industrial environments. Machinists, millwrights, fabricators, and maintenance technicians typically source this material for shaft stock, fastener blanks, pins, and structural inserts where standard carbon steel would corrode or where higher strength than conventional stainless is required.

This round rod is appropriate for both light commercial and industrial fabrication applications. Common uses include pump shafts, valve stems, tooling fixtures, and precision-machined hardware components. The 17-4 PH grade performs well in mildly corrosive environments including water treatment, food processing, and general industrial service. At 1-1/16 inches in diameter and one foot in length, this piece is sized for short-run custom work or sample evaluation before ordering larger stock. It ships as a single piece per package.

Key Features

• 17-4 PH precipitation-hardening stainless steel for high strength and corrosion resistance
• 1-1/16 inch diameter round bar profile ready for lathe or mill operations
• One-foot length suitable for short-run fabrication and prototype work
• Exceeds corrosion resistance of standard carbon steel; suitable for wet or mildly corrosive service environments
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel round rod for machining and fabrication applications requiring 17-4 PH alloy in a 1-1/16 inch diameter profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of 17-4 PH stainless steel should be performed by a qualified machinist using tooling rated for hardened stainless alloys. Carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools are generally required. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves, must be used during all cutting, grinding, and finishing operations. Ensure all workholding equipment is rated for the material hardness before beginning any machining sequence.
