What material is d2 die steel?

D2 alloy tool steel belongs to high wear resistance and micro-deformation cold working die steel imported from the United States. The patented vacuum arc technology is adopted for smelting. The carbon content is as high as 1.55%, and the chromium content is as high as 12%. After heat treatment, the hardness can reach 60HRC. D2 cold-working alloy tool steel can be used to manufacture cold-working dies with large cross section, complex shape, large impact force and high wear resistance, such as silicon steel sheet stamping dies, cold-cutting scissors, trimming dies, metal stamping dies, drawing dies, stainless steel sheet blanking dies, high-hardness blanking dies, wire rolling dies, hardware parts manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, etc. It is characterized by high wear resistance, good hardenability, micro-deformation, high thermal stability and high bending strength, second only to high speed steel, and is an important material for stamping dies and cold heading dies.
