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 product is a precision ground rectangle bar made of O1 tool steel, measuring 0.125 inches thick and 12 inches wide, with available lengths of 18 or 36 inches. It offers excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and contains elements like carbon (0.94%), chromium (0.5%), manganese (1.2%), and tungsten (0.5%).
The bar is available in standard lengths of 18 and 36 inches, but there is no custom cut warehouse service indicated for this product, so custom cutting options may be limited or unavailable.
O1 tool steel is commonly used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its good dimensional stability during heat treatment and decent machinability.
Yes, an MTR report is available for this product, providing assurance of its material composition and quality.
O1 tool steel has a machinability rating of 95 and an ultimate tensile strength of 105 ksi. While it is not as strong or wear resistant as A-2 or D-2 steels, it experiences significantly less distortion during heat treatment, making it suitable for precision applications.
