    Corrosion-Resistant 1045 Carbon Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Corrosion-Resistant 1045 Carbon Steel Rods.
    This steel is nitrided, which involves the absorption of nitrogen, providing a corrosion-resistant surface that won’t flake or chip. It is comparable to NitroSteel. 1045 carbon steel is stronger than low-carbon steel but just as machinable. This steel is often used for applications subject to wear and friction such as gears, shafts, and bushings.
    Ground—Ground rods are decarb-free for a uniform surface that will consistently accept heat treating.
