A2 tool steel offers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, making it a reliable choice for tooling, dies, punches, and precision machined components. The material ships in a ground flat stock condition with tightly controlled tolerances, including a thickness tolerance of plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches and a width tolerance of plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and metalworking shops use this stock as a starting blank for fabricating tools that require air-hardening heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for small-batch tooling applications in job shops, maintenance departments, and precision machining environments. The 18-inch length provides a practical starting blank for single-piece or short-run tool fabrication. The A2 air-hardening designation means the material can be hardened with minimal distortion compared to oil-hardening grades, which is a key consideration when machining close-tolerance parts prior to heat treatment. This bar is sold in single-piece quantities, making it accessible for prototype and repair work as well as production tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 air-hardening tool steel for reduced distortion during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround flat stock with thickness tolerance of plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches for predictable stock removal\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\u003eSingle-piece minimum order quantity for prototype and repair applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock blank suitable for tool-and-die, punch, and general precision tooling fabrication requiring air-hardening heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die makers using appropriate cutting tools and heat treatment equipment. Always follow the material manufacturer's recommended heat treatment cycle for A2 tool steel, including proper austenitizing temperature, air-quench procedure, and tempering parameters. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when grinding, machining, or handling ground tool steel stock. Secure workpieces properly before any cutting or grinding operation.\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: A2 Air-Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 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: 1.91 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: 06332076\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52052165984562,"sku":"06332076","price":102.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_5b4d55dc-12fd-4c72-9ff6-012f38b594cb.jpg?v=1790035345","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-06332076-a2-flat-stock-tool-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
