D2 tool steel is an air-hardening, high carbon, high chromium tool steel with extremely high wear resisting properties. It is a very deep hardening steel and will be practically free from size change after proper treatment. The high percentage of chromium gives it mild corrosion-resisting properties in the hardened condition. It has low machinability and grindability, with a medium resistance to decarburization. D2 is commonly used in long production, cold work applications, high wear applications and it is very popular as a knife blade steel.
D2 tool steel can be used to manufacture cold work die steel with large cross section, complex shape, high impact force and high wear resistance. This material is suitable for the straightener rolls. Because of the low machinability, all our straightener rolls will be manufatured by
