What is D2 Steel? ► High-Performance Tool Steel Explained

Welcome to ABRAMS Industries®' deep dive into D2 tool steel!

In this video, we’ll explore the unique properties and various applications of AISI D2, a high-performance tool steel known for its high wear resistance, tempering resistance and good ductility.

D2 tool steel, also known by its material number 1.2379 or X153CrMoV12, is a high-carbon, high-chromium steel offering excellent wear resistance and toughness. It is particularly favored in the manufacturing industry for its ability to maintain a sharp edge and withstand high-stress applications.

D2 is often used in:

- D2 Flat Stock: Ideal for creating precision cutting tools.

- D2 EDM Blocks: Commonly used for electrical discharge machining due to its hardness.

- D2 Round Bars: Perfect for tools requiring high durability and resistance to wear.

Applications of D2 Tool Steel:

- D2 cutting and punching tools: Due to the high wear resistance and hardness, this steel is often used to manufacture industrial knives, shears or cutting plates as well precision cutting tools up to 15/32-inch thickness.
- D2 blanking and stamping tools: D2’s properties make it a good choice for molds and dies.
- D2 plastic molds: Excellent for applications which need a high wear resistance, for example the production of plastic parts.
- D2 Knives and blades: This steel grade is sometimes used for high quality blades, but its hardness makes sharpening them difficult.
