Starrett 54676 A2 Tool Steel Flat Stock 5/8" x 2-1/2" x 36"

The Starrett 54676 is a precision-ground flat stock made from AISI A2 tool steel, measuring 5/8" thick x 2-1/2" wide x 36" long. This air-hardening tool steel is ideal for manufacturing cutting tools, punches, dies, and other precision components that require excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability.

Key Features:

• AISI A2 tool steel with 5% chromium content for superior hardness and toughness
• Air-hardening properties eliminate the need for oil or water quenching
• Exceptional wear and abrasion resistance for long tool life
• Precision-ground flat stock for tight dimensional tolerances
• Maintains excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment
• Ideal for cutting tools, punches, dies, and forming tools

A2 tool steel is one of the most popular air-hardening steels due to its combination of good toughness, excellent wear resistance, and minimal distortion during heat treatment. The chromium content provides enhanced hardness and oxidation resistance, making this flat stock suitable for demanding toolmaking and machining applications.
