A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good wear resistance. This stock is held to tight tolerances: plus or minus 0.001 inches on thickness, plus or minus 0.003 inches square, and plus 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches on width. It is used by tool and die makers, machinists, and metalworking professionals who need precision-ground flat stock ready for fabrication or hardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA2 air-hardening flat stock is a standard choice for cold-work tooling applications including dies, punches, forming tools, and gauges. The air-hardening characteristic reduces quench-related distortion, making A2 appropriate for tooling that requires close tolerances after heat treat. This bar is suited for job shop, production, and maintenance-and-repair operations where reliable, consistent tool steel flat stock is required. It ships in single-piece quantity at a minimum order of one bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision tolerances: plus or minus 0.001 inches thickness, plus or minus 0.003 inches square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance held to plus 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches for close-fit applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus or minus 0.062 inches on the 18-inch cut length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-machine flat stock at 0.75 inches x 2.5 inches cross section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs approximately 9.56 pounds per bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel flat bar for use in cold-work tooling, die-making, punch fabrication, and general tool steel applications requiring an air-hardening grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and hardening of A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified tool and die makers or machinists familiar with cold-work die steels. Always follow the material manufacturer heat treat specifications for austenitizing temperature, soak time, and air-cool procedure. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or heat treating. Verify final dimensions after heat treatment before use in close-tolerance assemblies.\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: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 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: 9.56 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: 86233251\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52098759983410,"sku":"86233251","price":249.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_a9ed152f-0002-40eb-9f70-87f5edf0f695.jpg?v=1790067813","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86233251-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
