What is D2 material?

D2BS4659 BD2 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 AnalysisC.Si.Cr.Mo.V.1.50%0.30%12.00%0.80%0.90%Forging:Heat slowly and uniformly to 700°C then more rapidly to 900/1040°C. After forging cool slowly.Annealing:Anneal at 850°C and slow furnace cool. Hardness after annealing will be approx. 225 in brinell's scaleHardening:Pre heat slowly to 750/780°C and thoroughly soak. Continue heating to the final hardening temperature of 1000/1030°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 °C150200250300350400HRc62/6161/6060/5957/5656/5556/55Stress Relieving:If machining operations have been heavy or if the tool has an unbalanced section, remove stresses before hardening by heating up to 700°C, equalise, then cool slowly.Hard Chromium Plating:After hard chromium plating tempering of D2 tool steel is recommended at 180°C for 4 hours to avoid hydrogen embrittlement. Tempering is to be performed immediately after chromium plating.Welding:Due to the high risk of crack formation welding of D2 tool steel should be avoided, if possible. When, however welding is essential, the following serves as a guide:A. Welding of soft annealed D2 tool steel.· Preheat to 300 - 500°C· Weld at 300-500°C· Immediately stress relieveElectrode: Cr-Mo alloy electrode for welding structural steel.B. Welding in connection with hardening of soft annealed D2 tool steel.· Heat to austenite temperature.· Cool to approx. 500°C· Weld at approx. 500°C· Cool to approx. 100°C in the same way as at normal hardening, then temper to desired hardness. Double tempering willreduce the risk of crack formation.Electrode: Hard facing electrode.C. Repair welding of D2 tool steel in hardened and tempered condition.· Preheat to the tempering temperature (min. 200°C) previously used.· Weld at tempering temperature· Heat immediately to tempering temperature, but max. 300°C.

Is d2 tool steel high carbon steel?

Yes, D2 tool steel is considered a high carbon steel because it contains a high percentage of carbon (around 1.5%). This high carbon content contributes to its high hardness and wear resistance properties, which are desirable for making cutting tools and knives.


Where can you buy a Katana made out of D2 Tool Steel?

A katana made of that particular steel will be difficult to find. D2 is hard to work, has a fairly complex heat treating cycle and is near impossible to get a good finish on it. So I really have no idea who would make one.


What is the Rockwell Hardness for D2 tool steel?

D-2 is a tool steel that is supplied in the annealed or soft condition. This grade must be hardened after machining . D-2 is heat treated between 1825 to 1875F. After heat treating, the tool steel will attain a hardness of about RC 62-64. However, after hea treating, the steel is very brittle and must be tempered. Below is a list of common temperatures for D2 try this......Tempering °C150200250300350400HRc62/6161/6060/5957/5656/5556/55See the related links for the D-2 tool steel data sheet and an introduction to the heat treating process.

What is derivation for weight per unit length of mild steel?

We know the formula D2/162 which is being used for calculate unit weight of reinforcement per meter.Here I am willing to explain how it has been arrived D2/162 (Note: D unit is in MM)Weight of bar per meter = Area of steel bar X Density of steel x Length of bar= (3.14 x D2/4) x 7850 kg/m3 x 1 m= D2 X 6162.25/(1000x1000)= D2 X (0.006162)= D2 X 1/(0.006162)-1= (D2/162.28)The actual value is D2/162.28Kindly note that this function is only applicable for circular shape steel which density is 7850kg/m3

Which knife steel is better the D2 or sr-77?

SR-77 is Busse Combat knives modified AISI S7 shock resistant tool steel. D2 is cold work tool and die steel. Given the ideal heat treatment for both steels, and knife designated use one can be better than the other, depending on that use. Simply put for the knives optimized for light cutting, D2 will be better choice, it will hold the edge longer, can be made harder too. For large blades, intended to be used for chopping, heavy duty cutting, prying etc shock steel is a better choice, especially SR-77 which has very good heat treatment from Busse. Chemical makeup and other details regarding both steels can be found in the related links section.
