The d2 tool steel grade has high proportions of carbon and chromium for greater resistance to wear than a2 and a6 tool steel.
Polished d2 steel sheet.
Polished stainless steel sheet is available in a brushed or mirror like finish in both 304 and 316 grades the most popular choice for cosmetic and architectural applications is our 4 brushed finish which is ideal for high traffic areas as it is durable and great at concealing scratches along with having superior corrosion resistance and temperature resistance.
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 steel round bar and plate can be used to produce cold work mold with a large cross section complex shape high impact force and high wear resistance.
A wide variety of polished d2 tool steel options are available to you such as hot rolled forged and cold drawn.
It is a very deep hardening steel and will be practically free from size change after proper treatment.
D2 flat ground is ground to a surface finish of up to 35ra on six sides and is free from defects and decarburization.
It also is called din 1 2379 and jis skd11 steel.
It is a high carbon and high chromium cold work mold steel.
These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials.
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.
