Decarb-Free Tool Steel Round: 8" Dia, 73" OAL, A-2 (Air Hardening) Tool Steel MPN:PR08.0X72

Decarb-free tool steel round provides an excellent solution for professionals seeking top-notch performance in demanding applications requiring wear resistance and hardness. The material, type A-2 (air-hardening), offers enhanced machinability due to its homogenous microstructure that minimizes the formation of carbide networks during heat treatment, thereby producing a uniformly hard piece. Measuring 8 diameter with a total length of 73, it allows for intricate shaping without compromising durability and edge retention properties. Its suitable applications range from die-casting, punches, injection molds to hand tools such as hatchets, axes or machinist tooling. The decarb process offers improved longevity by providing a uniform hardness throughout the piece preventing early failure points often associated with traditionally hardened tools. Users in industries like automotive, construction, and engineering will find value in this robust and cost-efficient solution from Decarb-Free Tool Steel Round's 8 diameter offering.
