A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good wear resistance. This bar ships in a ground and annealed condition ready for machining, hardening, and tempering. It is used by tool and die makers, machinists, and metalworking shops that need a reliable, tight-tolerance flat stock for fabricating dies, punches, gauges, and fixtures. Weight is approximately 7.97 pounds per bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA2 flat stock in this size range is a common choice for cold-work tooling applications in job shops and production tool rooms. The 5\/16 inch thickness and 5 inch width make it suitable for medium-duty die plates, stripper plates, and similar components where dimensional consistency and hardenability are critical. This bar is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for dimensional stability during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 5\/16 inch with tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 5 inches with tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 18 inches with tolerance of +0.062 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance: +\/- 0.003 inch for consistent right-angle geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for machining prior to hardening and tempering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement flat stock bar for cold-work tooling applications requiring AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel in a 5\/16 x 5 x 18 inch form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining, heat treating, and finishing of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers familiar with A2 steel properties. Always follow established heat treatment procedures for A2 steel, including proper preheat, hardening, and double-temper cycles, using referenced material data sheets. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or grinding operation. Allow the bar to reach ambient temperature before taking final dimensional measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2 Air-Hardening Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 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 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.010 to +0.015 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.062 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +\/- 0.003 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.97 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: 06320501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52092766224690,"sku":"06320501","price":283.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_f62abde4-57dd-4a56-8ee4-0582f8bbc360.jpg?v=1790064094","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-06320501-a2-flat-stock-5-16x5x18in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
