A2 tool steel round bar. A2 tool steel is a tool steel material with high hardness, strength and wear resistance. A round bar refers to a long, cylindrical object. This A2 tool steel round bar is usually used in the manufacture of tools such as molds and cutting tools that require high hardness and wear resistance.
Introduction to the Chemical Composition, Properties, Uses and Application Fields of A2 Tool Round Steel
Chemical Composition:
A2 tool round steel typically contains the following elements:
- Carbon (C): Around 1.0%. Carbon provides hardness and strength to the steel.
- Chromium (Cr): Approximately 5.0%. Chromium enhances hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
- Molybdenum (Mo): A certain amount. Mo improves toughness and hot hardness.
- Vanadium (V): Present in a small quantity. V helps in forming hard carbides for increased wear resistance.
Properties:
- High hardness: A2 tool steel has a relatively high hardness, which enables it to resist wear and deformation under heavy loads.
- Good toughness: It also exhibits good toughness, meaning it can withstand impact and shock without cracking easily.
- Heat resistance: Possesses some heat resistance, allowing it to maintain its properties at elevated temperatures to a certain extent.
- Dimensional stability: Offers good dimensional stability, ensuring accurate dimensions of machined parts.
Uses and Application Fields:
- Cutting tools: Commonly used for making knives, punches, and shears. The hardness and wear resistance of A2 make it suitable for these applications.
- Dies and molds: Widely used in the production of plastic injection molds, die-casting molds, and forging dies. Its toughness and heat resistance are beneficial in these applications.
- Mechanical components: Can be used for manufacturing shafts, gears, and bearings that require high strength and wear resistance.
- Tooling for the aerospace and automotive industries: Due to its excellent properties, A2 tool steel is often chosen for tooling in these demanding industries.
