D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium air-hardening tool steel known for excellent wear resistance and edge retention. This flat bar stock is supplied in annealed or as-rolled condition and is ready for machining, grinding, or heat treatment. It is commonly purchased by tool and die makers, machinists, and fabricators who need a reliable, dimensionally consistent starting blank for dies, punches, gauges, wear plates, and similar tooling components. Weight is 3.88 pounds per piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eD2 flat stock in this size range is widely used in job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities for fabricating cutting tools, forming dies, and precision wear components. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple blanks depending on the finished part size. The 1\/2-inch thickness suits applications requiring moderate cross-section with high surface hardness after heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD2 tool steel construction for high wear resistance and dimensional stability under hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTight thickness tolerance of 0.001 inches for consistent stock removal and grinding allowance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of 0.000 to 0.005 inches supports close-tolerance blanking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.250 to 0.500 inches provides adequate facing stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of 0.001 inches ensures perpendicularity suitable for precision tooling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as individual piece with no minimum order quantity requirement beyond one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose D2 tool steel flat bar suitable for tool and die, punch, gauge, and wear plate fabrication across a broad range of machining and heat-treating applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and finishing of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate cutting fluids and carbide or cobalt tooling. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering of D2 steel, should follow the material manufacturer's recommended thermal cycle and be performed in a controlled-atmosphere or vacuum furnace to minimize decarburization. Always handle flat stock with care to avoid surface damage that could affect tolerance or finished part integrity. Follow applicable shop safety practices when sawing, grinding, or drilling tool steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: D2 Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.250 to 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.88 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04546016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722754064690,"sku":"04546016","price":203.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/41af39b11a0f48c39657959ed54913a6.jpg?v=1788595401","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-04546016-d2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
