A2 steel vs D2: For the different material comparison, which one we should choose to use?
A2 tool steel China suppliers, wholesale, distributors, and stockholder–Dongguan Otai Special Steel Co Ltd. We Otai is a manufacturer and has a large quantity of stock in our warehouse. We supply in Round bar, gauge plate steel, pipe, tube, rod, square, hexagonal, blanks, plate, sheet, precision ground flat bar. Including precision ground bar stock, hollow bar, we provide black surface and black surface alloy steel material.
A2 steel/1.2363 is a German Cold work tool alloy steel material grade.
A-2 steel is an air hardening alloy chromium-molybdenum-Vanadium die steel. As cold work steel, its grade containing 5% chromium. In applications that require greater size stability, A2 steel is preferable to O1 tool steel.
Advantage of A2 steel in repair welding operation: since the preheating and post-heating temperature is lower than SKD11, repair welding operation is easier.
A typical application such as blanking die, the molding dies, blanking dies, stamping die, stamping die, die, extrusion die, boxing, shear knife blade, instrumentation, knurling tools, volume, head, and machine parts.
D2 is a high carbon-high chromium alloy tool steel that offers great wear and abrasion resistance, due to the large volumes of carbides in its microstructure.
It is widely used in long production cold work applications requiring very high wear resistance and high compression strength. D2 tool steel is machinable in its annealed condition, and like other air-hardening tool steels, shows minimal distortion when treated with heat. D2 Tool Steel is available in rounds, flats, and squares, as well as ground flat stock and drill rod.
D2 cold work steel used for cutting, shaping and pruning is dead, gauge, longitudinal cutting knife, wearing parts, the texture is dead, thread rolling, drawing die, the rotary die cutter, knurling, bending modulus, gauge, the shear blade, polishing tools, volume, machine parts and control parts, injection screw and prompt components, sewing, extrusion die, tire shredder, etc.
Otai provides the grinding, milling, polishing, turning, drilling, and other machining services as your required tolerances and size. We are welcome to your kind inquiry.
