SKD11 D2 1.2739 Grade Cold Work Steel Bar Forged Tool Steel Plate Round Annealing Tool and Die Steel Cr12MOV

Product Description

1: D2 steel introduction
Cold Works D2 tool steel is a high carbon, high chromium tool steel (12% chrome) with extremely high wear resisting properties, heat treatable to 60-62 Rc. D2 steel is very wear resistant but not as tough as lower alloyed steels. D2 tool steel hardens in air with a low order of movement and offers a measure of corrosion resistance when polished. The high percentage of chromium gives it mild corrosion-resisting properties in the hardened condition. The mechanical properties of D2 are very sensitive to heat treatment. D2 steel is available in de-carb free rounds, flats, and squares, as well as ground flat stock and drill rod.

Main Material

1.What is SKD11 tool steel equivalent to?

GB Cr12MoV

Equivalent Grades: GB Cr12MoV, JIS SKD11, AISI/SAE D3, DIN 2X165CrMoV12. SKD11 is the tool steel, die steel, and high carbon steel possessing high hardness, strength and wear resistance. Its surface is grinded precisely.

2.What is the difference between SKD11 and D2 steel?

Due to the different vanadium V content of the wear-resistant zinc alloy, D2 has better wear resistance than SKD11. The hardenability is different. The hardenability of D2 material is higher than SKD11. D2 mold steel for large molds has more uniform core hardness and surface hardness.

3.Is D2 steel a tool steel?

D2 steel is an air hardening, high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. It has high wear and abrasion resistant properties. It is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 55-62 HRC, and is machinable in the annealed condition.

4.What is D2 material used for?

Typical applications for D2 steel are blanking, forming, and trim dies, gages, slitting cutters, wear parts, lamination dies, thread rolling dies, drawing dies, rotary cutting dies, knurls, bending dies, gages, shear blades, burnishing tools, rolls, machine parts, master parts, injection screw and tip components, ...

5.Can D2 tool steel be welded?

The biggest disadvantage of using D2 tool steel is that it is not very resistant to corrosion compared to stainless steel. D2 tool steel has: Poor welding capabilities.
