Overview:
D2 Die Steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold work tool steel known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. Thanks to its ability to retain sharp edges and withstand abrasive conditions, D2 is widely used in tooling applications such as blanking, punching, and forming operations.
Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
High compressive strength
Good dimensional stability after hardening
Superior edge retention
Moderate corrosion resistance due to high chromium content
Ideal for precision tools exposed to high stress and wear

D2 Die Steel undergoes hardening via oil or air quenching followed by tempering. The steel can be heat treated to achieve various levels of hardness (up to 62 HRC) based on application requirements. It is not considered weldable due to its high carbon content but can be machined using conventional techniques like milling, turning, drilling, and grinding.
