A2 tool steel is a chromium-molybdenum alloy known for its excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment, moderate wear resistance, and good toughness after hardening. This piece measures 0.3125 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 18 inches long, with a shipping weight of 2.53 pounds. It is supplied in the annealed condition and is ready for machining, grinding, or layout work prior to heat treatment. Toolmakers, machinists, and die makers are the primary trades that work with this material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA2 flat stock at this size is commonly used in tool and die shops, machine shops, and maintenance departments for fabricating punches, dies, gauges, fixtures, and precision cutting tools. The 18-inch length allows for single-piece or multiple short blanks to be cut from one bar. Its air-hardening characteristic reduces distortion compared to oil or water-hardening grades, making it well suited for close-tolerance tooling where dimensional accuracy after heat treat is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel -- reduced distortion during hardening versus O1 or W1 grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround flat stock with tight thickness tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches for consistent stock removal planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of +0.062 inches -- allows clean squaring on a saw or surface grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of +\/- 0.003 inches -- suitable for direct layout and fixture use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnealed condition -- machinable with standard HSS or carbide tooling before hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for general toolmaking, die making, and precision fixture fabrication applications requiring dimensional stability after heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers familiar with tool steel grinding and heat treatment procedures. Heat treatment including hardening and tempering should follow the material manufacturer's recommended thermal cycle for AISI A2 and is typically performed by a certified heat treat shop. Always allow the bar to reach ambient temperature before performing precision grinding or measurement. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or machining tool steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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 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: 1.5 inches (1-1\/2 inches)\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: 2.39 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.53 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: 06320154\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972434133298,"sku":"06320154","price":112.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_5ee00cf3-2de6-4d0c-a0f2-59b718ea7c74.jpg?v=1789968785","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-06320154-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
