Material
Tool Steel O2 (1.2842)
Tool steel O2 ships annealed and machinable, then oil-hardens into a general-purpose cold-work tool steel similar to O1 but with added manganese for improved hardenability.

About
O2 (90MnCrV8) is an oil-hardening cold-work tool steel closely related to O1, with added manganese improving hardenability.
It offers good dimensional stability during hardening and is considered a reliable, general-purpose cold-work grade rather than a specialist.
Tool steel O2 is suited to precision tools, measuring plates, dies, cutting plates, threading jaws, gauges, and molds for pressing plastic parts.
