A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good toughness-to-hardness balance. This flat stock is supplied in an annealed condition, ready for machining, and is commonly used by tool and die makers, machinists, and metal fabricators who need a reliable, close-tolerance material for dies, punches, gauges, and similar tooling components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA2 air-hardening flat stock is suited for cold-work tooling applications in job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities. The 0.375 by 3 by 18 inch size is a standard bar format appropriate for fabricating die components, stripper plates, form tools, and fixture elements. The air-hardening characteristic of A2 steel minimizes warpage and distortion during the hardening cycle, making it a preferred choice when tight post-heat-treat dimensional control is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for superior dimensional stability during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches for close-tolerance machining applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in annealed flat bar format, ready for machining and subsequent heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-format A2 tool steel flat stock bar compatible with cold-work tooling, die-making, and precision machining applications requiring AISI A2 material specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified tool and die makers or machinists familiar with cold-work die steels. Always follow the material manufacturer's recommended heat treatment cycle for A2 steel, including proper austenitizing temperature and air-quench procedures, to achieve the specified hardness. Use appropriate cutting tools and speeds for tool steel during machining operations. Eye protection and standard shop safety practices are required when cutting, grinding, or handling steel bar 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: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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: plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.74 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: 06324305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51992573313330,"sku":"06324305","price":105.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_aacf0291-1346-4f9e-9e1a-a8ef31f083c8.jpg?v=1789990481","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-06324305-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
