A2 TOOL STEEL SUPPLIERS
A2 is a general-purpose tool steel, used for tools for shaping materials e.g. metal & wood.
This grade has medium wear resistance, better than O1, but less than D2 or D3
Supplied Condition:
We supply A2 in the soft annealed condition to max. 241 HB.
We bandsaw cut rounds, wide plates and flats to your requirements.
A2 Tool Steel Chemical Composition (%):
| C | Cr | Mo | V |
| 1,00 | 5,30 | 1,10 | 0,25 |
-
A2 Tool Steel Properties
- Medium alloyed, air hardening steel (1% C, 5% Cr)
- High achievable hardness
- Good dimensional stability
- Excellent compressive strength
- Good toughness after heat treatment
- Intermediate wear resistance, easier to machine and grind
Typical Applications for A2
Suitable for applications which require good wear resistance:
- Shear blades
- Cutting, punching, stamping
- Bending tools
- Form rolls
- Cold pilger mandrels
- Mould for plastic processing
- Embossing and stamping dies
Soft Annealing
| Temperature | Cooling | Hardness |
| 800 - 840°C | furnace | max. 241 HB |
Stress Relief Annealing
| Temperature | Cooling |
| 600 - 650°C | furnace |
Hardening
| Temperature | Cooling | Tempering |
| 950 - 980°C | oil, pressure gas (N²), air or hot bath 500 - 550°C | See PDF for diagram |
