What are D2 Tool & Alloy Steel?

D2 Tool & Alloy Steel distinct is that it is air-hardening and highly resistant to abrasion. It has approximately 12% of chromium that not only enhances corrosion resistance but also hardenability. This steel is commonly utilized in applications where it is desirable to have both hardness and toughness in balance. It has the ability to retain the hardness level in bulk volume production, making it one of the most popular materials for die and mold use.

The main benefits of D2 Tool & Alloy Steel are in its mechanical performance. Its high wear resistance reduces down-time due to wear on tools and allows for an extended service life of components. Its high compressive strength qualifies it for cold working operations like blanking, stamping, and forming. Its heat-treated dimensional stability is also guaranteed, ensuring accurate machining, saving time, and avoiding wastage.
