6” x 24.5” A-6 Tool Steel Round Bar/Rod Stock A6 Air Hardening
Overview
Description
AISI A6 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold work tool steel designed for applications that require good dimensional stability, wear resistance, and ease of machining. It bridges the gap between oil-hardening tool steels (like O1) and high alloy air-hardening grades (like A2).
