Tool Steel - D2 Tool Steel is a type of carbon alloy steel that is suitable for tool manufacturing, such as hand tools or machine dies. Its hardness, resistance to abrasion and ability to retain shape at increased temperatures are key properties of this material. Tool Steel is typically used in a heat-treated condition which provides increased hardness. D2 is a high carbon, high chromium (air hardening) tool steel. It was formulated to combine both the abrasion resistance and air-hardening characteristics. Common applications for these tool steels include forging dies, die-casting die blocks, and drawing dies. Typical Applications of D2 tool steel include Burnishing Tools, File Cutting, Paper Cutters, Die Bending, Blanking, Coining, Cold Heading Die Inserts, Embossing, Cold Extrusion, Cold Forming, Lamination, Cold Swaging, Thread Roll, Cold Trimming, Wire Drawing, Gages, Paper Knives, Rotary Slitters, Cold Shear Knives, Woodworking Knives, Knurling Tools and Lathe Centre Knives.
