    Polished Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Polished Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Rods, Mirror Like #8.

    Mirror Like #8

    Combine a smooth, attractive finish with strength and corrosion resistance. Polished to a higher quality than standard mill-finish rods, these rods come ready to use without additional surface preparation. They're often used to create handrails, machinery frames, decorative enclosures, and industrial workstations. 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice that maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
    Mirror Like #8—Easy to clean, this finish is free of grain lines and grooves that could collect particles. You can quickly spot surface defects, but it scratches more easily than a brushed finish.

    Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Polished Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum Rods, Mirror Like.

    Mirror Like

    Make parts that are easy to keep clean. With a smoother surface than unpolished 6061 aluminum, these rods are less likely to trap dirt, grease, and grime. A peel-off film shields the surface until you’re ready to work.
    The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is made into everything from pipe fittings to containers to airplane parts. It balances strength and corrosion resistance, plus it’s easy to machine and weld.
    Mirror Like—For the easiest clean, this aluminum has a #8 reflective finish, so it’s free of any grain lines or grooves that could collect dirt. You can quickly detect defects on the mirror-like surface. However, it scratches more easily than brushed aluminum.

    Polished Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Polished Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Rods.
    More chemical resistant than 304 and polished to a mirror-like finish for decorative applications. These rods are often used in handrails, machinery frames, enclosures, and industrial workstations. They stand up to harsh chemicals, including bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid. Use them for washdown, marine, coastal, and chemical-processing applications where 304 may corrode. These rods maintain their corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
    316/316L Stainless Steel—Dual certified to meet both 316 and 316L requirements. The low carbon content makes this stainless steel easy to weld while maintaining strength and corrosion resistance.
    Mirror Like #8—Easy to clean, this finish is free of grain lines and grooves that could collect particles. You can quickly spot surface defects, but it scratches more easily than a brushed finish.
