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 rectangle bar measures 0.1563" thick and 3" wide, made from O1 tool steel, which is an oil-hardening, general-purpose alloy known for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment.
Yes, the bar is available in lengths up to 36" and can be ordered in custom cut sizes, with options such as 18" and 36" lengths currently in stock.
While O1 offers good dimensional stability and machinability, it is less wear resistant than A-2 or D-2 steels, making it ideal for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges where less distortion is critical.
Yes, MTR reports are available for this product to verify its chemical and mechanical properties.
The bar is in stock and ships with weights of approximately 2.4 lb for an 18" length and 4.8 lb for a 36" length, ensuring prompt delivery.
