Tool Steel Drill Rod 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 drill rod is available in diameters of 0.546875 inches with lengths of 36, 72, and 144 inches, all precision ground for dimensional accuracy.
Yes, MTR reports are available for this product to verify its chemical and mechanical properties.
O1 tool steel drill rod is commonly used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment.
O1 tool steel has a high machinability rating of 95, making it easier to machine compared to harder tool steels like A-2 or D-2.
The drill rod weighs approximately 0.8 lb per unit and has an ultimate tensile strength of 105 ksi, with good elongation and shear strength suitable for general-purpose tooling.
