Product Description

D2 is a high carbon, high chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, air hardening alloy tool steel which offers good wear resistance, high surface hardness, through hardening properties, dimensional stability and high resistance to tempering effect. D2 tool steel is also suitable for vacuum hardening. Typical Analysis C. Si. Cr. Mo. V. 1.*0% 0.*0% *2.*0% 0.*0% 0.*0% Forging: Heat slowly and uniformly to **0?C then more rapidly to **0/***0?C. After forging cool slowly. Annealing: Anneal at **0?C and slow furnace cool. Hardness after annealing will be approx. **5 brinell. Hardening: Pre heat slowly to **0/**0?C and thoroughly soak. Continue heating to the final hardening temperature of ***0/***0?C and allow the component to be heated through. Quench in oil or cool in air. Tempering: Heat uniformly and thoroughly at the selected tempering temperature and hold for at least one hour per inch of total thickness. Double tempering should be carried out with intermediate cooling to room temperature. Tempering ?C **0 **0 **0 **0 **0 **0 HRc *2/*1 *1/*0 *0/*9 *7/*6 *6/*5 *6/*5
