Tool Steel Drill Rod O1 Metric 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
The drill rod has a precise 2mm diameter and a maximum length of 36 inches. It is a precision ground tool steel drill rod, ideal for applications requiring dimensional stability.
O1 tool steel offers good dimensional stability and machinability but is less wear resistant than A-2 or D-2 steels. It is best suited for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges where less distortion during heat treatment is important.
Yes, a material test report (MTR) is available for this product to verify its chemical and mechanical properties.
The O1 tool steel drill rod has a high machinability rating of 95, making it easier to machine compared to other tool steels, which helps reduce tooling wear and machining time.
