Tight-Tolerance High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: 105,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B110 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C66
- Specifications Met: ASTM A600
Also called drill rod, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are held to a strict straightness tolerance. Use them for turning applications in your lathe. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.
Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. Download certificates from ACTIVITY after your order ships.
