Corrosion-Resistant 4140 Alloy Steel Rods
 |
A chrome plating on these rods increases their corrosion resistance. They're also hardened, which makes them more resistant to impacts and abrasion. 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.
Note: Rods may be made from either 4140 or 4142 alloy steel. They are interchangeable in most applications.
