D2 Tool Steel Bar

D2 tool steel bar is an air-hardening, high carbon, and high chromium tool steel, heat treatable to HRC 60-62. D2 is widely used in cold work applications requiring very high wear resistance. It offers excellent abrasion resistance and compressive strength combined with mild corrosion resistance and moderate toughness. It is very deep hardening and shows good dimensional stability after proper treatment. D2 can be supplied in many finishes including, hot rolled, part pre-machined and fine machined condition.

Applications include Cutting Tools for Blanking, fine-blanking, punching, cropping, shearing, trimming, cold shears. Shredding knives for waste plastics. granulator knives, circular shears, clipping, trimming tools for forgings. Wood milling cutters, reamers, broaches. Forming Tools for: Bending, forming, deep-drawing, rim-rolling, spinning and flow-forming. Coining dies, Cold extrusion dies, punches, tube and section forming rolls; plain rolls die for moulding of Ceramics, bricks, tiles, grinding wheels, tablets, abrasive plastics. Thread-rolling dies, cold-heading tools, crushing hammers, swaging tools, gauges, measuring tools, guide rails, bushes, sleeves, knurling tools, sandblast nozzles.
