D2 Tool Steel

High carbon, high chromium cold work tool steel known for its exceptional wear resistance and air hardening properties.

D2: The Standard for Cold Work Tooling

AISI D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel alloyed with molybdenum and vanadium. It is characterized by high wear resistance, high compressive strength, and good through-hardening properties.

Key Features & Properties

  • Wear Resistance: Excellent resistance to abrasive wear.
  • Hardness: Achieves high hardness (up to 62 HRC).
  • Stability: High dimensional stability during heat treatment.
  • Toughness: Good toughness for a high-wear tool steel.

Typical Applications

  • Blanking and forming dies
  • Shear blades and slitters
  • Thread rolling dies
  • Heavy duty cutting tools

Technical Specifications

D2 is the most commonly used high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. It is air-hardening, which minimizes distortion during heat treatment.
