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 0.1563" in thickness and 6" in width, with a maximum length of 36". It is made from O1 alloy tool steel, known for its excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good machinability.
Yes, the bar is available in custom cut lengths, with standard options including 18" and 36". However, the custom cut warehouse availability is zero, so cuts are made to order.
O1 tool steel is commonly used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its good wear resistance and minimal distortion during heat treatment.
Yes, an MTR report is available for this product, providing assurance of material quality and compliance.
While O1 is not as strong or wear resistant as A-2 or D-2 tool steels, it offers significantly less distortion during heat treatment and has a high machinability rating of 95, making it suitable for precision applications.
