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.

Chemistry Information : O1 Tool Steel
This tool steel rectangle bar measures 0.125" in thickness and 1.5" in width, with a maximum length of 36". It is made from O1 alloy, an oil-hardening tool steel known for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment.
Yes, the O1 tool steel bar is precision ground and offers decent strength and wear resistance with less distortion during heat treatment, making it ideal for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges.
Custom cut lengths are not available from the warehouse for this product. However, a Material Test Report (MTR) is available to verify the steel's composition and quality.
The O1 tool steel has a high machinability rating of 95 and an ultimate tensile strength of 105 ksi, with a yield tensile strength of 58 ksi, making it suitable for general purpose tooling.
The bar is available in two length options: 18" weighing approximately 0.98 lbs and 36" weighing about 1.95 lbs, both in stock and ready to ship.
