Measuring 0.0625 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 36 inches long, this flat stock is held to tight dimensional tolerances throughout. A2 tool steel offers excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability during heat treatment, making it a reliable choice for punches, dies, gauges, and custom tooling components. Shipped at approximately 0.97 pounds per piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA2 air-hardening flat stock is used in tool and die shops, maintenance machining environments, and precision fabrication settings. Its air-hardening characteristic reduces the risk of distortion during hardening compared to oil-hardening grades, making it well suited for thin cross-sections like this 0.0625-inch profile. Typical applications include blanking and forming dies, cutting tools, jig components, and fixture plates where consistent hardness and dimensional accuracy are required after heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for reduced distortion during heat treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 to 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquareness held to 0.003 inches on edges and 0.004 inches per inch of thickness on ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece minimum order quantity with no bulk commitment required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock suitable for general tooling, die making, and precision machining applications where A2 grade material is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate tooling rated for hardened or semi-hardened steel. When heat treating, follow the material supplier recommendations for A2 air-hardening steel and allow parts to air cool in still air away from drafts. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and heat-resistant gloves during any thermal processing. Deburr all cut edges before use in assembled tooling or fixtures.\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: 0.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.250 to 0.500 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\u003eSquareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Edge 0.003 inches, Ends 0.004 inches per inch of thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.97 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: 85999183\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972452745522,"sku":"85999183","price":81.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_d993f08d-fb35-42a5-bf78-0ea686fb97da.jpg?v=1789969272","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-85999183-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
