FAQ's
What is EN D2 steel and why is it important in toolmaking?
EN D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium, air-hardening cold work tool steel renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, toughness, and edge retention. With a high chromium content of 11–13%, it offers moderate corrosion resistance compared to other tool steels, making it suitable for applications where tools face both abrasive wear and mild corrosive conditions. Due to its ability to maintain dimensional stability during heat treatment, EN D2 is a preferred choice in toolmaking and industrial applications requiring long lasting performance.
What are the chemical and mechanical properties of EN D2 steel?
EN D2 steel has a chemical composition of 1.40–1.60% carbon, 11–13% chromium, 0.70–1.20% molybdenum, 0.80–1.20% vanadium, along with controlled amounts of silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. In terms of mechanical properties, it offers tensile strength of 90–105 ksi (620–724 MPa), yield strength of 70–85 ksi (482–586 MPa), elongation of 8–12%, and hardness of 58–62 HRC after heat treatment. These properties provide a balance of hardness, strength, and wear resistance that make EN D2 suitable for high performance tooling and industrial use.
