A2 tool steel is the equivalent of DIN: 1.2363, AISI: X100CrMoV5.
D2 is commonly used in cold work applications, mainly used for tools where there is high wear and abrasion.
D2 steel needs to be hardened to maximise the steel's hardness and wear resistance.
D2 material is part of the Cold Work Tool Steel family. DIN 1.2379, AISI: X153CrMoV12
D2 steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. D2 is one of the most well-known tool steels due to its extreme wear-resistant properties and toughness.
