D2 TOOL STEEL SUPPLIER

D2 is one of the most well-known tool steels due to its extreme wear-resistant properties and toughness. These properties combined limit tool failure through breaking, chipping, cracking or premature wear. This grade provides an edge that will stay sharp for a long time.

 

Supplied Condition:

D2 steel supplied in the soft annealed condition to max. 255 HB.

We bandsaw cut D2 plates, rounds, flats and squares to your requirements.

 

D2 Tool Steel Chemical Composition (%):

C CR Mo V
1,55 12,00 0,80 0,90

  • D2 Tool Steel Properties

  • Air-hardening, 12% chrome steel
  • Composition & properties are close to stainless steel
  • High volume of hard carbides (C, Cr) → High levels of wear resistance & toughness
  • Excellent dimensional stability & high compressive strength
  • Secondary hardening properties → Good base material for coating & nitriding

Typical Applications of D2 Tool Steel

The properties of D2 mean it is mainly used for tools where there is high wear and abrasion:

  • Press tools
  • Cutting, punching, stamping
  • Knurling tools
  • Blanking tools
  • Crushers
  • Shear blades
  • Thread rolling dies
  • Cold extrusion dies
  • Deep drawing & bending tools
  • Flanging & straightening rolls
  • Fine-cutting tools
  • Plastic moulds for abrasive polymers

Soft Annealing D2

Temperature Cooling Hardness
820 - 850 °C furnace max. 255 HB

Stress Relief Annealing

Temperature Cooling
600 - 650°C furnace

Hardening D2 Tool Steel

Temperature Cooling Tempering
1000 - 1030 °C oil, pressure gas (N²), air or hot bath 500 - 550 °C see tempering diagram, usually < 300°C
1040 - 1080 °C oil, pressure gas (N²), air or hot bath 500 - 550 °C see tempering diagram, usually < 480°C

FAQs

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.

D2 is commonly used in cold work applications, mainly used for tools where there is high wear and abrasion.

D2 material is part of the Cold Work Tool Steel family. DIN 1.2379, AISI: X153CrMoV12

D2 steel needs to be hardened to maximise the steel's hardness and wear resistance.

D2 can be used for knives because it can hold an edge and maintain its hardness, with good resistance to wear and corrosion.
