D-2

Carburizing Steel For High-Performance Components

High-Wear Cold Work Tool Steel For Precision Applications. D-2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold work tool steel designed for precision tooling and wear-intensive applications.

Available Forms: Round Bars | Flats | Blocks | Custom Sizes

Key Features
  • Excellent performance in abrasive environments due to its high carbide content.
  • Suitable for demanding cutting, forming, and tooling applications.
  • Handles impact and compressive loads effectively.
  • Maintains tight tooling tolerances after appropriate heat treatment.
  • High carbon and chromium content provide excellent edge retention for cutting and shearing applications.
  • Suitable for applications where reduced tool regrinding and longer service life are important.
