Starrett 54341 496 3/16X1 1/4X36 AISI 01 Oil Hardening Tool Steel Flat Stock

The Starrett 54341 is a precision-ground flat stock made from AISI 01 oil hardening tool steel, measuring 3/16" thick x 1-1/4" wide x 36" long. This high-quality tool steel is ideal for manufacturing cutting tools, gauges, dies, and precision instruments where dimensional stability is critical.

Key Features:

• AISI 01 oil hardening tool steel for superior wear resistance and edge retention
• Dimensionally stable during heat treatment, minimizing warping and distortion
• Excellent for intricate work and thin sections with minimal risk of cracking
• Precision-ground to tight tolerances for consistent machining results
• Can be hardened to Rockwell C 57-64 for maximum durability
• Ideal for blanking dies, cutting tools, gauges, and wear plates

AISI 01 tool steel is a versatile, non-deforming grade that machines easily in the annealed condition and responds predictably to heat treatment. The oil hardening process provides deep hardening with minimal distortion, making it the preferred choice for detailed work requiring tight dimensional control.
