- Technical Info
A2 tool steel rectangle bar is an air hardening cold work tool steel known for excellent dimensional stability, balanced wear resistance, and reliable heat treat performance. Positioned between O1 and D2 in hardness and wear resistance, A2 provides a strong compromise of toughness and abrasion resistance while minimizing distortion during hardening. This makes it a preferred choice for precision tooling and components that must hold size and shape after heat treatment.
Applications: Blanking dies, punches, plastic molds, dowel pins, industrial knives, tooling plates.
Available Finish: Standard Tolerance | Ground Oversized | Precision Ground
