A2 tool steel offers good toughness combined with moderate wear resistance and minimal distortion during air-hardening heat treatment. This flat stock measures 1.5 inches thick by 2 inches wide by 36 inches long and weighs 31.37 pounds. Thickness and width tolerances are held to +0.010 to 0.015 inches, and length tolerance runs +0.250 to 0.500 inches. Machinists, toolmakers, and die makers specify A2 flat stock when they need a reliable, dimensionally consistent starting blank for tool and die applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA2 air-hardening flat stock is used in both job shop and production toolroom environments. Typical applications include blanking dies, forming dies, punches, cams, and precision fixtures where dimensional stability through heat treatment is critical. This bar size is well suited to medium-duty tooling where the 1.5-inch thickness provides enough material for machining and grinding down to finished part dimensions. The 36-inch length allows multiple blanks to be cut from a single bar, reducing material waste on repeat tooling jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for minimal distortion during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 1.5 inches with +0.010 to 0.015 inch tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 2 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 held to 0.003 inches on edges and 0.004 inches per inch of thickness on ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-finished flat stock condition ready for layout and machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI A2 tool steel flat bar suitable for general toolroom and die shop applications requiring air-hardening tool steel in this size profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting, machining, and heat treating of tool steel should be performed by qualified toolmakers or machinists familiar with AISI A2 steel specifications. Use appropriate saw or milling equipment rated for tool steel stock. Heat treating to full hardness requires controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace conditions followed by still-air quench per A2 specifications. Always handle large flat bar stock with proper lifting equipment given the 31.37-pound weight of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2 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: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 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 (Edge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquareness (Ends)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.004 inches per inch of thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31.37 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: 86463924\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971375333682,"sku":"86463924","price":714.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_95173586-eeb0-4c44-ac85-b81e4244ca9a.jpg?v=1789956173","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86463924-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
