Long Rods

Cold Worked—Cold-worked products have a finished look and quality. The cold-working process gives the steel consistent strength, hardness, and dimensions throughout.
Hot Rolled—Hot-rolled products are great for forming and fabricating. The steel undergoes less stress in the finishing process and has a little more give, so you can more easily bend and form it. It does however have a rougher surface finish than cold-worked steel.

Highly Fatigue-Resistant 4340 Alloy Steel Rods
 |
Made of 4340 alloy steel, these rods hold up to high heat, hard impacts, and heavy wear thanks to high levels of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. They’re commonly used for high‑stress components such as shafts, gears, and other load‑bearing parts. For even more wear resistance, you can harden the surface with heat treating.

Impact-Resistant Ultra-Machinable Ductile Iron Rods
With a high amount of ferrite, these cast iron rods are easier to machine without cracking than other impact-resistant ductile cast iron rods. Use them to create bushings, gears, pulleys, and pistons. These rods are also known as 65-45-12 ductile iron rods. All conduct electricity. They will become magnetic if exposed to a magnetic field. They’re often used to replace low and medium carbon steel rods.

Good for turning, threading, and machining parts along their length. They’re often used to make shafts and pins.
304/304L Stainless Steel—Dual certified, choose 304/304L whether you need 304, 304L, or an alloy that captures the benefits of both. Low carbon content improves weldability while maintaining corrosion resistance and strength.
Made-to-Order A2 Tool Steel Rods
 |
When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.
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 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.
