Tool Steel Rectangle Bar O1 Oversize 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 tool steel rectangle bar measures 0.5 inches in thickness and 2.5 inches in width, with a maximum length of 36 inches. It is made from O1 oil-hardening tool steel, known for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good machinability.

Yes, O1 tool steel experiences significantly less distortion during heat treatment compared to other tool steels like A-2 or D-2, making it ideal for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges.

Custom cuts are not available from the warehouse for this product. However, a Material Test Report (MTR) is available to verify the steel's chemical and mechanical properties.

The product is available in two lengths: 18 inches with a shipping weight of 6.38 lbs, and 36 inches with a shipping weight of 12.75 lbs. Both options are in stock and ready to ship.

The O1 tool steel bar has a high machinability rating of 95, an ultimate tensile strength of 105 ksi, and a yield tensile strength of 58 ksi, making it suitable for general-purpose tooling applications.
