D2 Tool Steel Sheet

A high carbon high chromium tool steel grade offering very high wear resistance and toughness.

D2 tool steel sheet.

D2 flat ground is an air hardening high carbon high chromium tool steel with extremely high wear resisting properties. Speedy metals stocks a2 and d2 tool steel flat. The d2 tool steel grade has high proportions of carbon and chromium for greater resistance to wear than a2 and a6 tool steel. These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials.

Tool steel is a carbon and alloy steel that has ideal characteristics including high hardness abrasion resistance a good ability to retain its shape even in higher temperatures.
