D2

D2 is an air hardening, high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel possessing extremely high wear resistant properties. It is very deep hardening and is practically free from size change after proper treatment. This tool steel's high chromium content gives it mild corrosion resisting properties in the hardened condition. Available in DeCarb-Free (DCF) bars that are cold finished in the mill prior to shipment, eliminating the need for bark removal by the tool and die fabricator.
