This product is a rectangle bar made of A2 tool steel with a thickness of 1.5 inches and a width of 3.5 inches. It is ground oversize for precision and has a maximum length of 36 inches. The alloy composition includes carbon (0.95-1.05%), chromium (5.13%), molybdenum (1.15%), and vanadium (0.33%), providing good strength and wear resistance.

Yes, the A2 tool steel bar has a machinability rating of 65, making it suitable for machining. It is commonly used in punches, dies, woodworking cutting tools, plastic tooling, dowel pins, hammers, and industrial knives due to its excellent wear resistance and stability during heat treatment.

This product is available in two stock lengths: 18 inches and 36 inches. However, custom cut options are not available from the warehouse for this item, so you can purchase it in these standard lengths only.

Yes, material test reports (MTRs) are available for this product. It also complies with RoHS standards (Yes 6C) but does not meet REACH compliance. This ensures traceability and adherence to certain environmental regulations.

The 18-inch length bar weighs approximately 26.75 pounds, and the 36-inch length weighs about 53.49 pounds. Both sizes are currently in stock and available for immediate shipment.
