About Tool Steel

Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
Hardness: Rockwell B95 (Medium)
Heat Treatable: Yes
Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C62
Specifications Met: ASTM A681

The thickness on these bars is precision ground to a tight tolerance. They are also known as flat stock. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.

Oversized Wear-Resistant D2 Tool Steel Bars

Yield Strength: 50,000psi
Hardness: Rockwell B95 (Medium)
Heat Treatable: Yes
Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C62
Specifications Met: ASTM A681

The thickness, length, and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements. These bars are also known as flat stock. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.

Precision-ground bars have less stock to remove on the top, bottom, and sides for achieving a finished piece faster.

If you don't see the size you're looking for, please specify a length under additional bar lengths.

Oversized Wear-Resistant D2 Tool Steel Rods and Discs

Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
Hardness: Rockwell B95 (Medium)
Heat Treatable: Yes
Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C62
Specifications Met: ASTM A681

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies. These rods and discs are decarb-free for a uniform surface that will consistently accept heat treating.

If you don't see the size you're looking for, please specify a length under additional rod lengths.

Tight-Tolerance Wear-Resistant D2 Tool Steel Rods

Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
Hardness: Rockwell B110 (Hard)
Heat Treatable: Yes
Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C62
Specifications Met: ASTM A681

All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to tight diameter and straightness tolerances. They’re also known as drill rod. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.
