A2 Steel Sheet
Good balance between hardness and toughness.
A2 steel sheet. A2 provides an effective combination of strength and toughness tool performance price and a wide variety of product forms. Characteristics of a2 flat ground include good machinability high compressive strength very good non deforming properties deep hardening and high dimensional stability after hardening and tempering.

A2 flat ground is an air hardening chromium alloy die steel that replaces o1 flat ground when safer hardening less distortion and increased wear resistance are required.
Aisi a2 data sheet aisi a2 is an air or oil chromium molybdenum vanadium tool steel. Uns t30102 aisi type a2. A2 tool steel sheets and bars the thickness length and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements. A2 tool steel is an air hardened tool that is known for its versatility non deforming properties and high level of toughness.
When air quenched from the proper hardening temperature a2 will expand 0 001 in in. 215 hb color code red green. A2 is intermediate in wear resistance between o1 oil hardening tool steel and d2 high carbon high chromium tool steel.
