Value Collection Round Rod 1-1/16 in 17-4 Ph Stainless 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0008643-MSC 74685868 is a 17-4 PH stainless steel round rod used in precision machining, fabrication, and structural applications where high strength and corrosion resistance are required. Measuring 1-1/16 inches in diameter and 3 feet in length, this rod is supplied as a single piece. The 17-4 PH designation refers to a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel alloy known for its superior mechanical strength compared to standard austenitic grades. Machinists, tool-and-die shops, and fabricators select this material when parts must withstand elevated stress, moderate corrosion exposure, or demanding mechanical loads.

This round rod is suited for manufacturing shafts, pins, bushings, fixtures, and custom fasteners in industrial, aerospace-adjacent, and general machining environments. It is commonly worked using lathes, mills, and surface grinders. The 3-foot length allows for efficient stock utilization across multiple short-run parts or a single longer component. Shops handling MRO procurement or one-off fabrication jobs will find this single-piece packaging appropriate for controlled material usage.

Key Features

• 17-4 PH stainless steel alloy for high tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance
• 1-1/16 inch diameter for compatibility with standard round-stock tooling and fixturing
• 3-foot length suitable for multiple short parts or single longer components
• Precipitation-hardening grade supports heat treatment to various condition strengths
• Single-piece packaging for precise inventory and cost control

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round stock for machining and fabrication applications requiring 17-4 PH stainless steel bar stock at 1-1/16 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, and milling of 17-4 PH stainless steel should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate carbide or high-speed tooling rated for hardened stainless alloys. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when cutting or handling raw stock. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA standards when operating machine tools. If heat treating this alloy to a specific condition, follow the material manufacturer specifications and use a calibrated furnace.
