Overview

D2 and D3 are high-carbon, high-chromium cold work tool steels known for their outstanding wear resistance and dimensional stability. D2 offers excellent hardness and toughness, while D3 provides superior compressive strength, making both suitable for demanding tooling applications.

Key Features

• High wear and abrasion resistance
• Excellent dimensional stability after heat treatment
• Good toughness and strength
• Suitable for long-run tooling applications
• Good machinability in annealed condition

Applications

• Blanking and punching dies
• Shear blades
• Forming rolls
• Drawing and deep drawing dies
• Embossing tools
