A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for good dimensional stability during heat treatment and solid wear resistance. This flat stock is used by machinists, toolmakers, and die makers to fabricate punches, dies, gauges, and other precision tooling components. The material ships in the annealed condition, ready for machining and subsequent heat treatment to the desired hardness. Weight is 9.56 pounds per piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2 air-hardening flat stock in this size range is a standard choice for toolroom and production shop applications requiring a cold-work steel with predictable heat-treat response. Typical uses include blanking dies, forming dies, trim dies, punches, and precision gauging fixtures. The 18 inch length provides sufficient stock for most single-component tooling applications without requiring additional cutoff. This stock is appropriate for both prototype and production tooling environments where close dimensional tolerances on the bar itself are required before machining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for stable, low-distortion heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches for consistent stock removal in machining setups\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 allowing for face squaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of +\/- 0.003 inches for reliable setup against machine vises and fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied in annealed condition, machinable before hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 tool steel flat stock bar suitable for toolroom fabrication of cold-work dies, punches, gauges, and precision fixtures requiring air-hardening steel in this cross-section size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of A2 tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified toolmakers or machinists familiar with cold-work die steels. Always follow established shop safety practices when sawing, milling, or grinding tool steel stock. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering, should follow the steel manufacturer's published thermal processing guidelines for AISI A2. Wear appropriate PPE when handling and processing bar stock, including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves during cutoff operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2 Tool Steel (AISI Type A2 Air-Hardening)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: 9.56 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 06344154\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057808077106,"sku":"06344154","price":280.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_993ae7a5-5cef-414b-9126-ae9baaefd3e6.jpg?v=1790039154","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-06344154-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
