D2 High Chromium Tool Steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. It contains a high percentage of chromium, making it highly resistant to wear and abrasion. D2 Steel is primarily used in the manufacturing of tools and dies that require a high degree of wear resistance and ability to maintain sharp edges over prolonged periods of use. Common applications include shear blades, punches, dies, and cutting tools exposed to heavy wear.
