Value Collection 86035102 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86035102 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die making, and precision machining applications. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium air-hardening tool steel known for its excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability after heat treatment. This flat stock measures 36 inches in overall length, 1 inch in overall width, and 0.5 inch in thickness, and weighs approximately 5.09 pounds. Close-tolerance grinding on all faces makes it suitable for direct use in toolroom applications where tight dimensional control is required. It is sold as a single piece.

This flat stock is suited for fabricating punches, dies, gauges, knives, and forming tools in both production and toolroom environments. The D2 grade performs well in applications demanding high abrasion resistance and moderate toughness. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance professionals typically work with this material in both commercial shop and in-house toolroom settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard D2 tool steel flat stock suitable for general toolroom, die-making, and precision machining applications where D2 grade material is specified.

Installation Notes

D2 tool steel flat stock is typically cut, ground, or machined by skilled machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate metalworking equipment. Always use proper personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding tool steel. D2 steel should be annealed before machining if hardened stock is not required, and heat treatment should be performed according to established metallurgical procedures for D2 grade. Consult material safety data and relevant shop standards before performing any heat treatment or surface grinding operations.
