A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good wear resistance. This flat stock ships in an annealed condition ready for machining, and then hardens by cooling in still air after austenitizing. It is used by tool and die makers, machinists, and fabrication shops that require a reliable, versatile cold-work steel with tight dimensional tolerances. At 46.38 pounds, this is a full-size bar suitable for large die plates, punches, and fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2 flat stock in this size is commonly used in the fabrication of blanking dies, forming dies, trimming dies, and wear-resistant fixtures in industrial and production shop environments. The 3\/8 inch thickness makes it practical for medium-duty die plates and tooling components that require close flatness and squareness tolerances. This bar suits both small job shops and production tool rooms where consistent, repeatable results after heat treat are a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA2 air-hardening tool steel  -  hardens in still air, minimizing distortion versus oil-hardening grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise fitment in close-tolerance tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to plus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 to 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull 36-inch length suitable for large die sections or multiple blanks from a single bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI Type A2 air-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for cold-work tooling applications including die plates, punches, and wear components requiring air-hardening heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified tool and die makers or machinists familiar with cold-work die steels. Material should be stress-relieved before finish machining when close tolerances are required after hardening. Always follow the steel manufacturer's recommended austenitizing and tempering temperature ranges for A2 grade. Proper eye and hand protection must be used when cutting, grinding, or machining tool steel bar stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI Type A2 Air-Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to plus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.250 to 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DRILL ROD TOOL STEELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02631067\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51995718975794,"sku":"02631067","price":1774.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_7dec242f-d018-41ff-8f28-12de5cc0ea64.jpg?v=1789992878","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-02631067-a2-flat-stock-3-8x12x36","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
