Buyers review


Coldwork tool steels include the highcarbon,highchromium steels or group D steels. These steels are designated as group D steels and consist of D2, D3, D4, D5, and D7 steels. These steels contain 1.5 to 2.35% of carbon and 12% of chromium. Except type D3steel, all the other group D steels include 1% Mo and are air hardened. Type D3 steel is oil quenched;though small sections can be gas quenched after austenitization using vacuum. As a result, tools made with type D3 steel tends to be brittle during hardening. Type D2 steel is the most commonly used steel among the group D steels.

Fabrication and Heat Treatment Heat Treatment
D2 steels should be preheated very slowly to 815ºC (1500ºF) and then temperature can be increased to 1010ºC (1850ºF). They are then held at 1010ºC (1850ºF) for 20 to 45 minutes and air cooled (air quenched).

Forging : Forging of D2 steels can be done from 1065ºC (1950ºF) down to 954ºC (1750ºF). Do not forge below 926ºC (1700ºF). Annealing Annealing of D2 steels should be done at 871 to 898ºC (1600 to 1650ºF) followed by slow furnace cooling at 4.4ºC (40ºF) per hour or less.

Tempering : D2 steels can be tempered at 204ºC (400ºF) for achieving Rockwell C hardness of 61 and at 537ºC (1000ºF) for a Rockwell C hardness of 54. Request Callback

Application 
Automobile Industry, Construction, Pharmaceutical / Chemical Industry, Oil & Gas Industry, D2 tool steels are used for long run tooling applications, where wear resistance is important, such as blanking or forming dies and thread rolling dies.
