Tool Steel Rectangle Bar O1 Oversize offers excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment, and otherwise decent attributes. O1 is an oil-hardening, general purpose tool steel. While not as strong or wear resistant as A-2 or D-2, it experiences significantly less distortion during the heat treating process. It is typically used in rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges.

This rectangle bar measures 0.625 inches in thickness and 2 inches in width, made from O1 oil-hardening tool steel. It is ground oversize for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment.

The bar is available in lengths up to 36 inches and can be ordered in 18 or 36 inch cuts. However, custom cut options from the warehouse are not available for this product.

O1 tool steel is commonly used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its good machinability and dimensional stability during heat treatment.

Yes, a Material Test Report (MTR) is available for this product, providing assurance of its chemical and mechanical properties.

O1 has a machinability rating of 95, making it easier to machine than harder tool steels like A-2 or D-2. It offers good strength and less distortion during heat treatment, though it is not as wear resistant as those alloys.
