When you need a versatile metal rod with both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for construction or engineering purposes, look to this one from the trusted RS PRO range.

Made from 303 austenitic stainless steel, this 1.5-metre rod can be welded or machined into shape, or bonded to other surfaces and structural elements. It's non-magnetic and low in electrical conductivity, making it ideal for use in or near electronic components and systems because it won't contribute to electrical or magnetic interference. The material also features good resistance to heat, so it's suitable for environments that regularly see high temperatures. You can use it safely in the food and drug industries, as it's non-reactive.

Part of our RS PRO range, this stainless steel rod has been rigorously tested to meet our high standards of safety and reliability.
