Need a seriously strong, corrosion-resistant round bar for a precision project? This is 455 Stainless Steel, also known as 'Custom 455'. It's a premium precipitation-hardening alloy that offers some awesome properties. In this 'Solution Annealed' temper, it's relatively soft and easy to machine or form. Then, after you've made your part, you can heat-treat (age) it to achieve a yield strength roughly three times higher than common 304 stainless – we're talking exceptionally high strength while still maintaining good toughness. It's also got great corrosion resistance. This specific rod is 1.250 inches in diameter (that's 1-1/4 inches) and a full 72 inches (6 feet) long. The finish is precision ground, so the diameter is super consistent and smooth with tight tolerances (+/- 0.0005 inches). It's perfect for making shafts, pins, rollers, or any high-stress component in aerospace, marine, or high-performance machinery applications. Material certs (MTR) are available. This is professional-grade material for machinists, engineers, and fabricators who need more than just ordinary steel. Always remember to wear proper PPE when machining or handling.
