This piece measures 3\/32 inch thick, 1-1\/4 inches wide, and 36 inches long, conforming to AISI A2 material specification. A2 tool steel is known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good wear resistance after hardening. The 57313 is supplied in the annealed condition, ready for machining and subsequent heat treatment. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance professionals work with this stock to fabricate punches, dies, gauges, and similar precision components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for shop-floor and toolroom use wherever AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel is specified. Common applications include fabrication of blanking dies, forming tools, trim dies, and precision fixtures in both job-shop and production environments. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple tooling blanks from a single piece. Because A2 hardens in still air rather than oil or water quench, it is favored where minimal distortion during hardening is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel construction for dimensional stability during heat treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for consistent stock removal calculations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquareness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches; edge squareness 0.003 per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36-inch length yields multiple blanks per bar with minimal offcut waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock blank for use in any toolroom or machine shop application requiring this material specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining of A2 tool steel flat stock is performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using standard milling, grinding, and EDM equipment. Heat treatment to full hardness requires an appropriate atmosphere furnace or salt bath to prevent decarburization; follow the material manufacturer heat treat guidelines for A2 steel. Allow the part to reach a safe handling temperature before measuring or finishing. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and appropriate gloves should be worn during all cutting and grinding operations.\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: 3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 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: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Squareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 inches per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.37 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: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 57313\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540246692146,"sku":"57313","price":195.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dd4885fbdd426ecb0fa6c3cc24fba2db_355b024b-62fe-4f8c-9c90-f4f84510a699.jpg?v=1785850115","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-57313-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock-3-32x1-1-4x36in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
