Product Details
A-2 tool steel is a general purpose, 5% chrome air hardening tool steel known for its superior wear resistance compared to S-7, A-6, and A-8 tool steels. It offers improved toughness and ductility in comparison to D-2 tool steel, making it a favorable option for various applications. A-2 is regarded as a safe grade for hardening processes and can be effectively heat treated in most tool room furnaces. With a machinability rating of 65 when compared to a 1% carbon steel, it provides a balance of strength and workability suitable for a range of manufacturing needs.
