The 6mm Tool Steel Drill Rod A2 offers good strength with an ultimate tensile strength of 100 ksi and yield strength of 50 ksi. It has wear resistance that is better than O-1 but less than D-2 tool steel, making it suitable for punches, dies, and cutting tools.

This drill rod is precision ground and available in a maximum length of 36 inches. However, custom cut options are not available from the warehouse for this product.

Yes, this tool steel drill rod complies with RoHS standards (RoHS Yes 6C), but it does not meet REACH compliance.

The A2 tool steel drill rod is commonly used for manufacturing punches, dies, woodworking cutting tools, plastic tooling, dowel pins, hammers, and industrial knives due to its balance of wear resistance and stability during heat treatment.

Yes, a material test report (MTR) is available for this product, ensuring traceability and quality verification.
