Heat Treatment Guide & Properties

D2 requires precise heat treatment to develop its high wear resistance and hardness. Multiple tempering cycles are used to reduce internal stresses and achieve stable hardness. Proper preheating and controlled quenching help avoid cracking and distortion.

🔥

Annealing

820°C – 860°C

Furnace cool slowly to soften for machining.

🔥

Hardening

980°C – 1020°C

Oil quenching recommended for optimal hardness.

🔥

Tempering

150°C – 200°C

Multiple tempering cycles to achieve desired hardness and stability.

D2 tool steel contains high levels of chromium, which forms hard chromium carbides providing outstanding wear resistance. Carbon content is also high to support hardness, while small additions of Vanadium and Molybdenum help improve toughness and wear resistance. This composition makes D2 ideal for heavy-duty cutting and forming tools where abrasion is a major concern.

Dimensional StabilityExcellent

D2 offers very high hardness and wear resistance after proper heat treatment. It provides excellent dimensional stability and maintains sharp edges under high-pressure conditions. However, D2 is less tough compared to some other tool steels, so it is best suited for applications where wear resistance is the primary requirement.
