These bars and rods are crafted to meet the demanding needs of high-performance industrial tooling applications. Thanks to their advanced facilities and rigorous quality control measures, Neil Metals guarantees reliable delivery and precision-engineered M2 steel bars and rods that can handle even the toughest environments.
M2 Steel Bars and Rods are high-speed tool steels made up of carbon, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, chromium, and iron. The typical chemical makeup includes about 0.85% carbon, 5% molybdenum, 6.4% tungsten, 2% vanadium, and 4% chromium. These components work together to provide excellent hardness, red hardness, and wear resistance. M2 steel boasts a tensile strength of around 700 MPa and retains its strength and hardness even at high temperatures. It also offers impressive dimensional stability during heat treatment and machining, making it perfect for crafting high-speed cutting tools.

Yes, M2 steel can be welded, but it requires preheating and post-weld heat treatment to prevent cracking and ensure good weld strength due to its high hardness and wear resistance.
M2 steel rods are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 1/16" to 3" in diameter. Common finishes include bright, polished, and cold-drawn for enhanced surface quality and performance.
M2 steel bars are typically sized by diameter and length, with standard diameters ranging from 6 mm to 100 mm. Lengths usually vary from 3 meters to 6 meters.
M2 Steel Bars and Rods find extensive use in the production of cutting and machining tools like drills, taps, reamers, milling cutters, and saw blades. Their exceptional hardness and resistance to thermal softening make them ideal for high-speed machining tasks. Additionally, M2 steel is utilized in cold work applications and precision tools where durability and wear resistance are essential. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, die and mold manufacturing, and general engineering depend on M2 steel for its long-lasting performance and reliability in both high-load and high-temperature situations.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
