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 material offers greater toughness and ductility than D-2 tool steel, making it a versatile choice for various applications. A-2 is also considered a safe grade for hardening, as it can be heat treated in most tool room furnaces without complications. In terms of machinability, A-2 tool steel has a rating of 65 when compared to a 1% carbon steel, indicating its ease of machining while maintaining significant strength and durability.
