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.

This product is a precision ground rectangle bar made of O1 tool steel, measuring 0.25 inches in thickness and 5 inches in width, with a maximum length of 36 inches. It features excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and contains approximately 0.94% carbon and 0.5% chromium.
While O1 tool steel offers good dimensional stability and machinability, it is not as strong or wear resistant as A-2 or D-2 tool steels. It is typically used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges where moderate wear resistance is sufficient.
The rectangle bar is available in lengths up to 36 inches, with standard offerings at 18 and 36 inches. However, the custom cut warehouse availability is zero, indicating that custom cuts may not be available from stock.
Yes, MTR reports are available for this product, providing assurance of its chemical and mechanical properties.
The 18-inch length ships at approximately 6.38 pounds, while the 36-inch length ships at about 12.75 pounds.
