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.

Mechanical Properties
Chemistry Information : O1 Tool Steel
This rectangle bar is precision ground with a thickness of 0.2188 inches and a width of 1 inch. It is made from O1 tool steel, an oil-hardening alloy known for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good machinability.
The bar is available in lengths up to 36 inches, with standard cut options of 18 and 36 inches. However, there is no custom cut warehouse option, so custom cutting is not available.
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 its material properties and quality.
O1 tool steel offers a high 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.
