    Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods

    Made of A2 steel, they are more wear resistant than O1 rods and discs. They also keep a sharper cutting edge. When heat treated for added wear resistance, they don’t require baths or quenching and can be air-hardened. A2 tool steel is widely used for punches, blades, and hammers. These rods and discs are decarb-free, which means any surface flaws created during the manufacturing process have been removed. This makes them more machinable and leads to better results from heat treating or finishing. With an oversized diameter, these rods and discs let you finish to your exact requirements.

    Hardened Multipurpose 4140 Alloy Steel Rods

    These rods and discs keep their strength in temperatures up to 800° F. They're hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Plus, they’re stress relieved, so there’s less chance of warping during machining. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears, axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.
    Note: Rods may be made from either 4140 or 4142 alloy steel. They are interchangeable in most applications.

    When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.
    Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears, axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress. For added wear resistance, the surface can be hardened with heat treating.
    Note: Rods may be made from either 4140 or 4142 alloy steel. They are interchangeable in most applications.

    Ultra-Wear-Resistant 440C Stainless Steel Rods

    The high carbon content in this 440C stainless steel helps it withstand abrasion and wear better than any other stainless steel. Like tool steel, it can be heat treated to become extremely hard. It also maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 800° F. However, it’s more likely to break than bend from impacts. It’s often used to make bearings and valves.

    Drill, mill, and turn at high speeds without clogging your cutting tools. Alloyed with sulfur, 416 is the easiest type of stainless steel to machine. A good choice for gears, screws, and shafts, it won't wear down when it grinds against other metal parts. It also maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures as hot as 1200° F. However, it's not as corrosion resistant as other types of stainless steel, such as 304 and 17-4 PH.

    When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.
    17-4 PH stainless steel combines the strength of 400 series stainless steel with the corrosion resistance of 300 series. This makes it fit for the most demanding applications—even storing and protecting nuclear waste. You can be confident it will stay corrosion resistant in temperatures as hot as 1100° F. Also known as 630 stainless steel.
    Heat Treatment Condition A—The most machinable and formable state of 17-4 PH stainless steel. These rods are a good option when you’re performing your own heat treatment. They can be heat treated to boost their yield strength up to 170,000 psi.

    Made-to-Order Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Made-to-Order Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Rods.
    When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.
    One of the most corrosion-resistant types of stainless steel, 316 stands up to the harshest chemicals, including bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid. It's a step up from 304, which has similar strength and temperature performance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications. It maintains its 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.
