AISI  A2   tool steel  is one of ‘A’ group cold works steel in  ASTM A681  standard.  A2 Tool Steel  is a versatile, air hardening chromium alloy tool steel that replaces  O1  tool steel when safer hardening, less distortion and increased wear resistance are required. AISI type A2 steel is intermediate in wear resistance between O1 oil-hardening tool steel and  D2  high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. AISI Steel A2 is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 57-62 HRC. ASTM grade A2 steel delivers good toughness with medium wear resistance and is relatively easy to machine. Tool Steels A2 are used in many applications which require good wear resistance as well as good toughness. Characteristics of A2 tool steel include: good machinability, high compressive strength, high dimensional stability after hardening and tempering. Good hardenability, very good non-deforming properties, deep hardening, Good wear...
