Measuring 0.3125 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 18 inches long, this flat stock ships in a ground and precision-toleranced condition ready for layout and machining. A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good wear resistance, making it a reliable choice for punches, dies, gauges, and forming tools. The piece weighs approximately 1.59 pounds. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabricators are the primary installers and end users of this material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for cold-work tooling applications in job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities. It performs well in applications requiring moderate toughness and good abrasion resistance after heat treatment. The 18-inch length allows for typical die-section and punch layouts without additional rough-cutting. Typical applications include blanking punches, trimming dies, form blocks, and gauging fixtures where dimensional stability during air hardening is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 air-hardening tool steel offers excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment, reducing post-hardening grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround flat stock with close thickness and width tolerances: +0.010 to 0.015 inches on thickness and width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of +0.062 inches; square tolerance of +\/- 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-machine condition  -  no additional surface prep required for most toolroom applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece minimum order quantity supports low-volume toolroom and repair work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock suitable for cold-work tooling, die components, punches, and gauging applications where AISI A2 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die makers familiar with cold-work steel processing. Air hardening should follow the steel supplier's recommended austenitizing and tempering temperature ranges for AISI A2. Grinding after hardening should be done with adequate coolant to prevent surface cracking. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when machining or grinding tool steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2 Tool Steel (AISI Type A2 Air-Hardening)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.010 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.010 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +\/- 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.59 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 06320105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084467859762,"sku":"06320105","price":90.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_be551505-f538-4a67-bc66-a463c3c5ddee.jpg?v=1790058245","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-06320105-a2-flat-stock-5-16x1x18-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
