    Tight-Tolerance Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Tight-Tolerance Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods.
    Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe. Also known as drill rod, this A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and keeps a sharper cutting edge. It’s air-hardening, so it doesn’t require baths or quenching after heat treatment. This tool steel is often used for punches, blades, and hammers.

    Wear-Resistant 4820 Alloy Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Wear-Resistant 4820 Alloy Steel Rods.
    Often used for gears, bushings, and pins, this 4820 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion. It’s a case-hardening steel, which means that heat treating will create a hard surface without making the interior brittle.
