- Technical Info
A2 tool steel drill rod is an air hardening cold work alloy known for excellent dimensional stability, balanced wear resistance, and predictable heat treat response. Positioned between O1 and D2 in hardness and abrasion resistance, A2 provides a strong combination of toughness and durability while minimizing distortion during hardening. Precision ground and polished to a 16 Ra surface finish, A2 drill rod is ideal for tooling applications where size retention and surface integrity are critical.
Applications: Punches, dies, dowel pins, gauges, knives, plastic mold components.
Finish / Condition: Ground & Polished (16 Ra, Decarb Free)
