Tool Steel Square 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
The O1 tool steel square bar is commonly used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good general-purpose tool steel properties.
This product is available in a 36-inch length and does not have custom cut options from the warehouse, so it is sold as a precision ground bar at the specified length.
The O1 tool steel square bar offers a high machinability rating of 95, making it easier to machine compared to harder tool steels like A-2 or D-2, which also helps reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Yes, a Material Test Report (MTR) is available for this O1 tool steel square bar, providing assurance of its chemical and mechanical properties.
The product weighs approximately 0.51 lb for the 36-inch length and is currently in stock and available for immediate shipment.
