A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and its balance of toughness and wear resistance. This flat stock is precision-ground to tight tolerances, including a thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches and a width tolerance of plus 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches. It is used by tool and die makers, machinists, and metalworking shops that require a reliable, consistent-dimension steel blank ready for tooling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for cold-work tooling applications in job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing environments. Typical uses include blanking dies, forming dies, punches, gages, and shear blades where air-hardening capability and minimal distortion during heat treat are critical requirements. The 18-inch length provides a practical working blank for most die and punch fabrication projects without requiring initial rough cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel  -  minimal distortion during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance: plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise blank sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance: plus 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance: plus or minus 0.062 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance: plus or minus 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-machine flat stock  -  no rough shearing required at this size\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 blank suitable for cold-work die and tooling fabrication where A2 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified tool and die makers or machinists familiar with cold-work die steels. Follow the material manufacturer's recommended preheat, austenitizing, and air-quench procedures for A2 steel  -  do not substitute oil or water quench. Use appropriate cutting fluids and carbide or high-speed steel tooling when machining. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves is required when handling ground steel flat stock.\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: 3 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: 11.48 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: 86233301\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52003018146098,"sku":"86233301","price":278.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_0791e65e-3bd5-44a5-8bce-e2c684299b7b.jpg?v=1789998513","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86233301-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
