About D2 die steel
D2 die steel is an air quenched, high carbon, high chromium tool steel. It has high abrasion resistance and abrasion resistance. After heat treatment, the hardness can reach 55-62HRC, and it can be processed in the annealed state. D2 die steel hardly deforms when properly hardened. The high chromium content of D2 gives it mild corrosion resistance under hardened conditions.D2 die steel first appeared during World War II and belongs to the non-stainless steel category, semi-stainless steel tool steel. Today, D2 is very popular with tool manufacturers, knife-makers and tool factories, and almost every tool manufacturer uses D2.
D2 die steel is sometimes called “semi-stainless steel”. It has a fairly high chromium content (12%), but this number is not enough to classify it as stainless steel. However, it is more resistant to staining than some other carbon steels and has excellent wear resistance. D2 is much stronger than high-quality stainless steel such as ATS-34, but not as strong as other non-stainless steels mentioned here. Good abrasion resistance, almost no rust, and good toughness. These combined make D2 an ideal choice for a variety of tools.
Our OTAI exported this D2(1.2379/X12MF) steel material to most of Knives manufacturers end buyer so far, and got the firm trust from them. Our company has maintained no quality incident complaints for 8 years continuously, and the customers repeat order rate is exceeds 85%. As what our company goal showed, we undertakes that as a crucial company strategy… Taking on an open, transparent and sincere attitude, we are willing to work with all customers and partners to jointly supply top quality tool steel everywhere.”
Therefore, based on this, OTAI supply the steel materials to more than 30 countries all over the world.
