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 relative to D-2 tool steel, making it a versatile choice for various applications. The grade is considered safe for hardening and can be heat treated effectively in most tool room furnaces. In terms of machinability, A-2 has a rating of 65, which indicates its workability when compared to a 1% carbon steel. This combination of attributes makes A-2 tool steel a preferred option for tool and die makers, as well as in other industries requiring durable and dependable materials.
