Chrome-Plated Low-Carbon Steel Rods

- Yield Strength: 45,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: SAE AMS2406, SAE AMS-QQ-C-320
The matte plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance. 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, such as fixture clamps, mounting plates, and spacers.
Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. Download certificates from ORDER HISTORY after your order ships.
