Can drill rod be hardened?

Drill rod stock is typically supplied without being heat treatment, or unhardened, so that it is easy to machine. Once the metal is machined into its tool form, it can be hardened through heat treatment and then drawn back.

What grade of steel is drill rod?

AISI A2 Tool Steel Drill Rod is an air-hardening tool steel that contains five percent (5%) chromium. The chromium in drill rod replaces the oil hardening (O1 type). A2 Drill Rod is ideal for applications where safer hardening, less distortion and increased wear-resistance are required.

What is Rod steel?

Metal rods are metals and alloys designed in the pattern of round bars or rod, rectangular or flat bars, square bars, hexagons, and other patterns of bar stock. These shapes also come in billet form and generally include a cross-section based on the shape of rod or bar stock.

What kind of steel is used for round stock?

Often called ETD- 150, these rods are made from a modified version of 4140 alloy steel and have been drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength. Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.
