It measures 0.875 inches thick, 5 inches wide, and 36 inches long, and weighs 45.84 pounds. A2 tool steel offers good toughness and wear resistance with minimal distortion during air-hardening heat treatment, making it a reliable choice for medium-run tooling applications. This stock is supplied in the annealed condition and is ready for machining prior to hardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for shop and production environments where precision-ground or saw-cut blanks are needed for secondary operations. Typical applications include punch and die sets, forming tools, shear blades, and plastic injection mold components. The material conforms to AISI Type A2 specification, which is a widely used air-hardening cold-work tool steel. It is appropriate for both job shop and production toolroom use where dimensional consistency from piece to piece matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel with minimal distortion during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.875 inches thick x 5 inches wide x 36 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches for consistent stock removal planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of +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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for use in toolmaking, die making, and precision machining applications where A2 specification material is called out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified toolmakers or heat-treat specialists familiar with cold-work tool steels. Always anneal or stress-relieve the material before rough machining when required by your process plan. Air-hardening tool steels should be hardened and tempered according to the steel producer's recommended thermal cycles  -  do not substitute water or oil quench for air cooling. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow shop safety procedures when cutting, grinding, or heat-treating this material.\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: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.250 to +0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +\/-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: 45.84 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: 86463817\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52015097250098,"sku":"86463817","price":411.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_faf6144d-de5a-44c1-bcd3-2530eda7d3b7.jpg?v=1790007495","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86463817-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
