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 0.3125" in thickness and 3" in width, with a maximum length of 36". It is made from O1 alloy tool steel, precision ground for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment.
Yes, O1 tool steel is a general-purpose, oil-hardening steel commonly used in rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its good dimensional stability and machinability.
Yes, MTR reports are available for this product, providing detailed information on its chemical and mechanical properties.
The bar is available in cut lengths of 18" and 36". The 18" length weighs approximately 4.79 lbs for shipping, while the 36" length weighs about 9.57 lbs.
The O1 alloy has a machinability rating of 95, making it easier to machine than some other tool steels like A-2 or D-2, while still offering good strength and wear resistance.
