Contact SupplierA2 tool steel is an air hardening, cold work steel. A2 is a 5% Chromium steel which provides high hardness after heat treatment with good dimensional stability. It is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 57-62 HRC.
The lower chromium content in A2 tool steel means that it does not provide the same wear and abrasion resistance shown by , However, it is more easily machined and will hold a good edge.
A2 delivers good toughness with medium wear resistance and is relatively easy to machine. Used in many applications which require good wear resistance as well as good toughness.
Typical Applications for A2 Steel:
AISI A2 equivalent grades: BS4659 - BA2, AISI - A2, DIN - 1.2363 - X100CrMoV5
