Whatever kind of structure you're putting together, this metal rod will provide you with the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance you need. It's made of 303 austenitic stainless steel, a reliable material that can be shaped and bonded by welding and machining.

This 1.5-metre rod is non-magnetic and has very low electrical conductivity, so it can be safely used in equipment or systems without the risk of interference from other parts. It's also heat-resistant, making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments. Thanks to its low level of reactivity, it's a safe choice for food processing situations.

Like all RS PRO parts, this stainless-steel metal rod has been extensively tested for safety and quality. It's regularly used in the construction of bridges or barrier walls and is also ideal for aircraft applications and industrial environments.
