Aisi a2 data sheet aisi a2 is an air or oil chromium molybdenum vanadium tool steel.
Airkool is quite easily machined in the annealedcondition and like other air hardening tool steels exhibits minimal distortion on hardening making it an excellent choice for dies of complicated design.
Chromium steels are prone to chipping and cracking.
Concerned tool builders should discuss heat treatment with their heat treaters to find the best process to suit their tools and applications.
