Starrett 54666 A2 Tool Steel Flat Stock 1/2" x 3-1/2" x 36"

The Starrett 54666 is a precision flat stock made from AISI A2 tool steel, measuring 1/2 inch thick by 3-1/2 inches wide by 36 inches long. This air-hardening tool steel is ideal for manufacturing cutting tools, punches, dies, and precision machine components.

Key Features:

• AISI A2 tool steel with 5% chromium content for superior wear resistance
• Air-hardening properties allow for uniform hardening with minimal distortion
• High abrasion and wear resistance for extended tool life
• Precision ground flat stock for dimensional accuracy
• Suitable for heat treating to achieve hardness of 57-62 HRC
• Excellent machinability in annealed condition

A2 tool steel is a versatile, all-purpose tool steel that combines good toughness with excellent wear resistance. It's widely used in applications requiring dimensional stability during heat treatment, making it the preferred choice for precision tooling, gauges, and wear-resistant components.
