A2 Steel Sheets

Characteristics of a2 flat ground include good machinability high compressive strength very good non deforming properties deep hardening and high dimensional stability after hardening and tempering.

A2 steel sheets. A2 provides an effective combination of strength and toughness tool. A2 tool steel sheets and bars. When air quenched from the proper hardening temperature a2 will expand 0 001 in in. Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance these rods are ready for turning in your lathe.

The thickness length and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements. A2 is the most common grade of steel bar used to make tools for shaping metal wood and other materials. 215 hb color code red green applications aisi a2 offers an excellent combination of good wear resistance and toughness. A2 tool steel sheets and bars.

Cold work tool steel is a good choice for parts requiring a. A2 is intermediate in wear resistance between o1 oil hardening tool steel and d2 high carbon high chromium tool steel. Typical c si mn cr mo v analysis 1 0 0 3 0 6 5 3 1 1 0 2 delivery condition soft annealed approx. A2 tool steel is an air hardened tool that is known for its versatility non deforming properties and high level of toughness.

The thickness length and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements. It s highly wear resistant and moderately tough. It has wear resistance intermediate between the oil hardening tool steels o1 and the high carbon chromium tool steels d2. Tight tolerance multipurpose air hardening a2 tool steel rods.

A2 is an air hardening medium alloy tool steel which is heat treatable to hrc 60 62. A2 is also an air hardening tool steel but includes less than half the chromium 4 75 5 50 and a bit less carbon 0 95 1 05 than d2. A2 tool steel is a versatile air hardening tool steel that is characterized by good toughness and excellent dimensional stability in heat treatment. These precision ground sheets and bars are held to a tight thickness tolerance.

Tight tolerance multipurpose oil hardening o1 tool steel sheets and bars. As a 5 chromium steel a2 tool steel has high hardness following heat treatment and demonstrates good dimensional. Because it offers a combination of good toughness along with moderate wear resistance it has been widely used for many years in variety of cold work applications which require fairly. A2 tool steel properties.

A2 flat ground is an air hardening chromium alloy die steel that replaces o1 flat ground when safer hardening less distortion and increased wear resistance are required.
