Tool Steel Rectangle Bar O1 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.

Mechanical Properties
Chemistry Information : O1 Tool Steel
This tool steel rectangle bar measures 1.25 inches in thickness and 5 inches in width. It is made from O1 alloy, an oil-hardening tool steel known for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good machinability.
The bar is available in lengths up to 36 inches, with options to purchase at 18 or 36 inches. However, custom cut services are not available from the warehouse for this product.
O1 tool steel is commonly used for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges due to its good wear resistance and minimal distortion during heat treatment.
Yes, a material test report (MTR) is available for this product, ensuring traceability and quality verification.
O1 tool steel has a high machinability rating of 95, making it easier to machine compared to harder tool steels like A-2 or D-2, which also tend to distort more during heat treatment.
