A2 Steel Sheets

As a 5 chromium steel a2 tool steel has high hardness following heat treatment and demonstrates good dimensional.

A2 steel sheets.

A2 tool steel sheets and bars. Like d2 it is incredibly resistant to distortion during heat treating and is moderately machinable and grindable. A2 medium carbon chromium alloy steel is a member of the cold work tool steel group designated by the american iron and steel institute aisi which includes o1 low carbon steel a2 steel and d2 high carbon high chromium steel. The thickness length and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.

These precision ground sheets and bars are held to a tight thickness tolerance. Aisi a2 data sheet aisi a2 is an air or oil chromium molybdenum vanadium tool steel. When air quenched from the proper hardening temperature a2 will expand 0 001 in in. A2 provides an effective combination of strength and toughness tool.

Cold work tool steel is a good choice for parts requiring a. A2 is the most common grade of steel bar used to make tools for shaping metal wood and other materials. A2 is intermediate in wear resistance between o1 oil hardening tool steel and d2 high carbon high chromium tool steel. The thickness length and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.
