Tool Steel Rectangle Bar O1 offers excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment, and otherwise decent attributes. O1 is an oil-hardening, general purpose tool steel. While not as strong or wear resistant as A-2 or D-2, it experiences significantly less distortion during the heat treating process. It is typically used in rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges.

What are the dimensions and material specifications of the 7/64" x 1/2" Tool Steel Rectangle Bar O1?
This precision ground rectangle bar measures 0.1094" in thickness and 0.5" in width. It is made from O1 oil-hardening tool steel, known for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good machinability.
Yes, the bar is available in lengths up to 36 inches and can be custom cut. Two standard lengths offered are 18 inches and 36 inches, both currently in stock.
O1 tool steel is commonly used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its balance of strength and reduced distortion during heat treatment.
Yes, an MTR is available for this product, providing assurance of its material properties and compliance.
O1 offers decent strength with an ultimate tensile strength of 105 ksi and excellent machinability rated at 95, though it is less wear resistant than A-2 or D-2 tool steels but experiences less distortion during heat treatment.
