About Us

D2 is a tool grade steel known for its excellent resistance in aqueous environments like water, its chromium content. Comprising about 12% chromium and 1.5% carbon, D2 Tool Steel Round Bars are classified as high carbon alloys. These bars can be hardened through air hardening. Heat treatment of the UNS T30402 D2 Round Bar results in a hardness range of 55 HRC to 62 HRC.

Its high hardness properties make the surface resistant to wear and abrasion. Additionally, the formation of chromium carbide in the DIN 1.2379 D2 steel Rod contributes to its wear and abrasion resistance by reducing friction.

D2 Round Bar Supplier

Amardeep Steel is a supplier of D2 Tool Steel Round Bars, a high-carbon alloy with about 12% chromium, making it resistant to aqueous media like water. This chromium content, combined with 1.5% carbon, classifies it as a high-carbon alloy. The material can be air-hardened through heat treatment, achieving hardness levels between 55 HRC and 62 HRC. This high hardness makes D2 Round Bars resistant to wear and abrasion, thanks to the formation of chromium carbide, which reduces friction. D2 steel can be machined when annealed and is known for its moderate corrosion resistance. Due to these properties, D2 Round Bars are popular in industries that manufacture tools such as rolls, punches, dies, knives, and food equipment. Amardeep Steel offers top-quality D2 Tool Steel Round Bars, suitable for steel manufacturing, petrochemical industries, fire protection systems, chemical industries, and shipping. They also supply various other round bars, including XM19/Nitronic, M35 High-Speed Steel, H13 High-Speed Steel, Duplex, and H10 Tool Steel Round Bars.
