3 32 D2 Tool Steel Sheet

These bars are also known as flat stock.
3 32 d2 tool steel sheet. 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. The addition of nickel gives d2 tool steel better wear resistance than a2. D2 flat ground is an air hardening high carbon high chromium tool steel with extremely high wear resisting properties. Precision ground bars have less stock to remove on the top bottom and sides for achieving a finished.
Although other steels with improved toughness or. D2 is an air hardening high carbon high chromium die steel well suited for long run tool and die applications. The d2 tool steel grade has high proportions of carbon and chromium for greater resistance to wear than a2 and a6 tool steel. The thickness length and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements.
Tool steel drill rod d2 is a high carbon air hardening tool steel that provides good resistance to wear. It is a very deep hardening steel and will be practically free from size change after proper 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. D2 tool steel grade shapes sizes and technical information from tool steel service inc.
These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials. This air hardening material is often used for cutting blades stamps and forming dies. The high percentage of chromium gives it mild corrosion resisting properties in the harden condition. An abundance of extremely hard wear resisting alloy carbide particles imparts excellent abrasion resistance qualities.
