Value Collection 04545158 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 04545158 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar measuring 36 inches in overall length, 1 inch in overall width, and 1/16 inch thick. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work tool steel known for excellent wear resistance and edge retention. This flat stock is a raw material form used by machinists, toolmakers, and die makers to fabricate cutting tools, dies, punches, gauges, and wear plates. It ships as a single bar and is ready for grinding, heat treating, or further machining to final dimensions.

This flat stock is suited for tool and die shops, production machine shops, and maintenance departments requiring precision-ground raw stock for fabricating or repairing tooling. The bar is appropriate for applications that demand high wear resistance in cold-work service conditions. Width and thickness tolerances are held tightly, making it suitable for use as a starting blank where minimal material removal is needed to reach finish dimensions.

Key Features

• D2 tool steel construction for high wear resistance and durability in cold-work applications
• Length tolerance of +0.250 to +0.500 inches allows consistent bar-to-bar usability
• Width tolerance of +0.000 to +0.005 inches supports close-tolerance blanking
• Thickness tolerance of 0.001 inches enables minimal finish grinding
• Square tolerance of 0.001 inches ensures flat, square reference surfaces
• Single-bar packaging with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose D2 tool steel flat stock blank compatible with standard cold-work tooling fabrication applications where 36-inch length, 1-inch width, and 1/16-inch thickness dimensions are required.

Installation Notes

This is a raw material bar intended for machining, grinding, or EDM operations by qualified toolmakers or machinists. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding tool steel. Heat treating D2 steel requires controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace equipment and should be performed by personnel familiar with tool steel heat treatment procedures. Always verify final dimensions with calibrated measuring instruments before committing the blank to further processing.
