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. This grade of tool steel offers greater toughness and ductility than D-2 tool steel, making it an excellent choice for various applications. A-2 is also recognized for its safety in hardening processes, as it can be heat treated in most tool room furnaces without difficulty. In terms of machinability, A-2 tool steel has a rating of 65 when compared to a 1% carbon steel, indicating its favorable machinability characteristics.
