Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

These rods are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

Often called Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Also known as Fatigueproof, these rods have enhanced strength and resistance to breaking from repeated impact compared to High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods.

Precision ground and held to a strict tightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in a lathe.

These rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 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.

Often called ETD-150, these rods are made from a modified version of 4140 alloy steel and have been drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. It’s used for parts such as bearings, bushings, and punches.

A modified version of 4340 alloy steel, 300M is used in applications that require high yield strength, such as torsion bars and drive shafts.

Often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws, 4150 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

Offering excellent resistance to cracking from impact and compression, C300 alloy steel is often used for dies and tooling. It is also known as maraging steel and VascoMax.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

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.

From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

When compared to standard 304 stainless steel, this material can be machined faster with less wear on cutting tools. It's also called Prodec and Project 70+.

Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

This material machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than standard 316 stainless steel. It's also called Prodec and Project 70+.

2205 stainless steel resists cracking even when faced with a combination of tensile stress, corrosive chemicals, and heat. Also known as duplex stainless steel, it has twice the strength of 316 stainless steel. Use it for high-pressure applications in caustic environments.

With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.

Ready for turning in your lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight tolerance.

One of the most machinable types of stainless steel available, 416 contains sulfur for fast machining without clogging cutting tools. It's used for gears, screws, and shafts.

Precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance, these rods are all set for turning applications in a lathe.

With a higher chromium content than 15-5 PH stainless steel, this high-strength 17-4 PH offers better corrosion resistance. It is also known as 630 stainless steel.

Hardened for improved strength and wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a strict diameter tolerance. Use them for turning applications in your lathe.

Also known as Project 70+, this material machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than standard 17-4 PH stainless steel.

Offering outstanding strength, 15-5 PH stainless steel is often used for gears and shafts.

The titanium content of 321 stainless steel preserves corrosion resistance around weld points.
