Tool steel D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work tool steel with very high wear resistance, good hardenability, and moderate toughness. It is particularly suitable for cold-work dies requiring exceptional wear resistance and high-pressure resistance but minimal impact loads, such as gauges and guide rails.
