  • Available shapes – Flat,square & Round bars
  • High Carbon, High Chromium(HCHCR)
  • The high-carbon, high-chromium tool steels are the most highly alloyed steels.
There are five standard AISI (UNS) types of these steels: D2 (T30402), D3 (T30403), D4 (T30404), D5 (T30405) and D7 (T30407). D1 and D6 are no longer in common use. D-type tool steels contain between 10% and 18% chromium. These steels retain their hardness up to a temperature of 425 °C (797 °F). Common applications for these grade of tool steel is forging dies, die-casting die blocks, and drawing dies. Due to high chromium content, certain D-grade tool steel grades are often considered stainless or semi-stainless tool steels. However their corrosion resistance was very limited due to the precipitation of major amount of chromium and carbon as carbides.

Die steel (D3) Properties
D3 steel, is an air hardening, high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. It displays excellent abrasion/wear resistance and has good dimensional stability and high compressive strength. It is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 58-64 HRC. Due to its abrasion resistance in the hardened condition, D3 machining should be limited to finished grinding.
Typical applications for D3 Steel:
  • Blanking and forming dies
  • Forming rolls
  • Press tools
  • Punches
  • Bushes
D3 Heat Treatment:
  • Annealing: Heat uniformly to 850-870°C, soak thoroughly, then slow furnace cool at a rate of not more than 25°C per hour to 650°C. The parts may then be air cooled. This should result in a maximum hardness of brinell 248.
  • Hardening: D3 tool steel is extremely sensitive to overheating during hardening – do not overheat. Pre heat slowly to 800-850°C, the raise rapidly to 950-970°C and soak until completely equalised. Quench in oil.
  • Stress Relieving: Heat to 650-700ºC. Soak for 2-4 hours then furnace cool.
  • Tempering: Heat uniformly and thoroughly to the desired temperature and hold for 25 minutes per cm of thickness. D3 can be double tempered after intermediate cooling to room temperature.die steel, die steel,die steel, die steel,die steel, die steel die steel composition,die steel supplier,die steel d2,die steel price,die steel grades,die steel properties,die steel plate,d2 tool steel
