A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good wear resistance. This flat stock is precision-ground to tight tolerances, making it well-suited for fabricating dies, punches, gauges, and custom tooling components. Machinists, toolmakers, and industrial maintenance technicians work with this material in job shops, tool-and-die operations, and maintenance facilities where consistent stock dimensions are critical to finished-part accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is used in cold-work tooling applications where moderate toughness and good hardenability are required. Typical uses include blanking dies, forming dies, trim dies, and precision fixture components. The 18-inch length provides a practical working blank for most bench and machine operations. The bar ships in a single-piece quantity, making it straightforward to order for individual tooling projects or prototype work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for stable, predictable heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-ground flat stock with tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance held to plus 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches for consistent fit in tool holders and fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus or minus 0.062 inches on the 18-inch bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches ensures consistent cross-section geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-machine stock suitable for dies, punches, gauges, and custom tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose A2 tool steel flat stock blank for cold-work tooling fabrication.

Follow standard tool steel handling practices: secure the bar properly during sawing or milling operations, and use appropriate cutting fluids for tool steel. Heat treatment should be performed by a qualified heat treater following AISI A2 specifications for austenitizing, air quenching, and tempering. Always wear appropriate PPE when machining tool steel.\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: 5\/16 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: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 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: 2.39 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: 86220159\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972021059890,"sku":"86220159","price":112.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_a568fc41-7283-4c0d-b475-dc2617a6de3e.jpg?v=1789961210","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86220159-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
