Need Source For 17-4 Annealed Round Stock Ground to .112"

charlie gary · Jan 9, 2014

I need to find some 17-4 round stock, annealed, that is .112" diameter plus nothing, minus .005". I need a piece 96 inches long if it's one continuous piece of material, but if it can only be had in shorter lengths I need enough to make 25 parts 3.5" long. Who can steer me to a vendor that can provide such a thing?

Thanks for reading.

Charlie, we do this a bit and when we do we usually order standard nominal sizes and then cylindrical grind it. You should be able to get .125" or 3mm stock and grind from there. Not really a big deal. Made a bunch of prototype proprietary bone screw taps that way.

The 17-4 is the easy part. There should be lots of centerless grinders in the Seattle area. Find one that will do the job and have the stainless sent to them. Just a couple of passes through the machine and they should be able to hold the tolerance with no problem.

You guys are telling me what I figured would be the answer, but every time I don't ask I find out I could have just bought it that way. Thanks for the affirmations. I'll start looking for a grind shop.

Are you sure you want to drag yourself down to my level?

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing. What number am I thinking of?

I found a shop not far from me to grind the stock. When the material gets to me I'll get it over to him and he said it would take three to five days to get it in the system and done for me.

If for some strange reason I ever find myself in Iowa, I'll inquire about the deluxe tour. Until then I'll keep on with paying my expenses for the daily trip to work. ;-)

Brain @ Versamill said that he'd never come back here. I have not seen his picture in the post office, but I have heard that Iowa DOT has been looking for him.
