Speedy metals stocks a2 and d2 tool steel flat.
Minimum tendency to distort during heat treatment makes d2 popular where intricate die designs are involved or in any application requiring extreme stability during heat treatment.
The d2 tool steel sheet has been precision ground meets american society for testing and materials international astm a681 specifications and has a standard tolerance.
It offers excellent abrasion resistance due to a large volume of carbides in the microstructure.
Data sheet d2 d2 is an air hardening high carbon high chromium tool steel heat treatable to hrc 60 62.
D2 tool steel is a versatile high carbon high chromium air hardening tool steel that is characterized by a relatively high attainable hardness and numerous large chromium rich alloy carbides in the microstructure.
D2 has been widely used for many years in cold work applications requiring very high wear resistance.
These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials.
