Value Collection 60202058 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60202058 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar intended for toolmakers, die makers, and machinist shops requiring a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work steel in a ready-to-machine profile. The bar measures 36 inches in overall length, 3 inches in overall width, and 7/8 inch thick, with a finished weight of 27.55 pounds. D2 tool steel offers high wear resistance and dimensional stability, making it a common choice for blanking dies, forming dies, punches, and wear plates. This flat stock ships in single-piece quantity and is ready for sawing, grinding, or EDM to final tool geometry.

This flat stock is used in tool-and-die shops, mold-making facilities, and precision machining operations where a cold-work tool steel with tight dimensional tolerances is required. The profile suits applications in both short-run prototype tooling and production die work. Fabricators working with stamping dies, shear blades, or gauges will find the 3-inch width and 36-inch length a practical starting size for a wide range of tool layouts.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard D2 tool steel flat stock profile suitable for tool-and-die, stamping, and wear-plate fabrication applications requiring AISI D2 cold-work tool steel material.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of D2 tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified toolmakers or machinists using appropriate saw, grinder, or EDM equipment rated for high-alloy tool steels. Heat treatment to harden D2 material should follow the steel manufacturer's recommended austenitizing and tempering cycles and must be performed in a controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace to prevent decarburization. Always use personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding tool steel bar stock. Verify final dimensions after any heat-treat cycle, as distortion can occur.
