A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and its balance of toughness and wear resistance. This flat stock is supplied to close tolerances, making it well-suited for tool and die work, punches, dies, gauges, and other precision tooling applications. Machinists, toolmakers, and die shops are the primary users. At 2.39 pounds per piece, it is manageable for bench and mill work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is used in tool and die shops, maintenance shops, and manufacturing environments where precise, machinable steel stock is required. A2 air-hardening steel is commonly chosen when distortion control during hardening is a priority. Typical applications include blanking dies, trim dies, forming dies, punches, and precision gauges. The 18-inch length provides practical working stock for most bench tooling projects without the need for rough cutting from longer bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for low distortion during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches for close-tolerance tooling work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of +0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of +\/- 0.003 inches for consistent squareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-machine flat stock, no rough shearing required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock for use in tool and die fabrication, punch and die sets, and precision gauge making where AISI A2 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting, grinding, and machining should be performed by a qualified toolmaker or machinist familiar with tool steel properties. Heat treatment to harden A2 steel should be carried out in a controlled atmosphere furnace to minimize decarburization; consult the material manufacturer's heat treat guidelines for soak times and quench method. Always allow the steel to normalize before finish grinding. Proper personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection is required during all machining and grinding operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2 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: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 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\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: 06324123\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972150690098,"sku":"06324123","price":90.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_22425d43-afac-4ddf-93d9-efb1d872d7a7.jpg?v=1789963531","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-06324123-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
