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 commonly used by tool and die makers, machinists, and fabricators to produce punches, dies, jigs, and fixtures. Thickness tolerance runs from +0.010 to +0.015 inches, width tolerance is +0.010 to +0.015 inches, and length tolerance is +0.250 to +0.500 inches, providing consistent raw material for precision machining operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for shop environments where air-hardening grades are specified for tooling applications. Typical uses include blanking dies, forming dies, and precision gauges in both production and job-shop settings. The material is supplied in the annealed condition, ready for machining prior to heat treatment. Machinists and toolmakers working in metal fabrication, stamping, or prototype shops will find this stock appropriate for applications demanding stable hardening with minimal distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA2 air-hardening tool steel with excellent dimensional stability during heat treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness: 1.25 inches with +0.010 to +0.015 inch tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth: 3 inches with +0.010 to +0.015 inch tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength: 36 inches with +0.250 to +0.500 inch tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquareness: edge 0.003 inches and ends 0.004 inches per inch of thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI Type A2 material specification for cold-work tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 air-hardening flat stock suitable for cold-work tooling, die making, jig and fixture fabrication, and general precision machining applications where AISI A2 tool steel is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of A2 tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers familiar with cold-work die steels. Material should be stress relieved and properly supported during machining to minimize distortion. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering cycles, must follow the material manufacturer's guidelines for AISI A2 steel. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or machining tool steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 1.25 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: 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 and ends 0.004 inches per inch of thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 39.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 86463874\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51993430655282,"sku":"86463874","price":858.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_b3971781-633e-4cfe-87d4-2c633e01731d.jpg?v=1789991128","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86463874-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
