Value Collection Round Rod 3/16 in 6 Ft 17-4 Ph Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0008559-MSC 86660933 is a 17-4 PH stainless steel round rod sized at 3/16 inch in diameter and 6 feet in length. 17-4 PH is a precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel known for high tensile strength, good corrosion resistance, and machinability in the annealed condition. This rod stock is suited for fabrication, repair, and machining applications where standard stainless steel grades may not meet strength or hardness requirements. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in industrial and commercial settings commonly stock this material for custom part production and on-site repairs.

This round rod is appropriate for general metalworking applications requiring a balance of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Common uses include shafting, pins, fastener blanks, valve components, and structural hardware in environments exposed to mild corrosives or high mechanical loads. The 6-foot length provides adequate stock for multiple cuts on most standard fabrication jobs.

Key Features

• 17-4 PH precipitation-hardening stainless steel for elevated strength compared to standard 304 or 316 grades
• 3/16 inch diameter round rod profile suitable for turning, milling, and drilling
• 6-foot length provides versatile stock for single or multiple part fabrication
• Good corrosion resistance suitable for moderate service environments
• Weighs approximately 0.57 pounds per 6-foot length for easy handling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round rod stock for fabrication and machining applications requiring 17-4 PH stainless steel at 3/16 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, and drilling of 17-4 PH stainless steel should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for hard stainless alloys. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting rod stock. Secure the workpiece properly before machining to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards when operating cutting or turning equipment.
