Drill Rod Tool Steels 03719051 A2 Flat Stock 3/16x1x36 in

Product Description

The DRILL ROD TOOL STEELS 03719051 is an A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock bar measuring 3/16 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 36 inches long. A2 tool steel is an AISI-standard air-hardening grade known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment, good wear resistance, and moderate toughness. This flat stock is supplied in the annealed condition, ready for machining, grinding, and subsequent hardening by qualified tool and die makers, machinists, and metalworking shops. The piece weighs approximately 2.1 pounds and is sold as a single-piece unit.

This flat stock is suited for fabricating dies, punches, gauges, jigs, fixtures, and cutting tools in industrial and toolroom environments. The 36-inch length provides adequate stock for most toolroom applications requiring moderate-length blanks. The combination of thickness, width, and A2 grade makes this bar a common choice for cold-work tooling applications where dimensional accuracy after hardening is critical.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining should be performed by qualified machinists using tooling rated for hardened or annealed tool steel as applicable. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering, should be performed by a qualified heat treater following AISI A2 specifications; improper heat treatment can cause cracking or excessive distortion. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting or grinding tool steel bar stock.
