Drill Rod Tool Steels 816007 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The DRILL ROD TOOL STEELS 816007 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar measuring 2 inches thick, 3 inches wide, and 18 inches long. Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specification, this flat stock is intended for toolmaking, die work, punches, gauges, and precision machined components that require a steel capable of through-hardening in oil quench. Tolerances are held tight: thickness is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, width to plus 0.005 inches and minus 0.000 inches, and length to plus 0.250 inches. The piece weighs approximately 30.94 pounds. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance shops are the primary users of this material.

This flat stock suits applications in job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities where O1 tool steel is specified. Common uses include blanking dies, forming tools, cutting tools, jigs, fixtures, and gauging components. The oil-hardening characteristic of O1 makes it a practical choice where dimensional stability during heat treatment is important. It is suitable for both short-run tooling and prototype work where the material needs to be machined in the annealed condition and then hardened to final hardness.

Key Features

• AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel for predictable through-hardening in oil quench
• Thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for close-tolerance machining stock
• Width tolerance of plus 0.005 inches and minus 0.000 inches
• Length tolerance of plus 0.250 inches
• Squareness held to 0.003 inches on edges and 0.004 inches per inch of thickness on ends
• Single-piece minimum order quantity for low-volume and prototype needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard AISI O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock suitable for general toolmaking, die making, and precision machining applications requiring O1 material specification.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate metalworking equipment. Material should be worked in the annealed condition prior to heat treatment. Heat treatment including hardening and tempering should follow established metallurgical procedures for AISI O1 tool steel and should be performed by personnel familiar with oil-quench hardening practices. Use proper personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding tool steel.
