Value Collection 86037108 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86037108 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar measuring 36 inches in overall length, 1 inch in width, and 3/4 inch in thickness. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work tool steel known for excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability, making it a standard choice for die components, cutting tools, punches, and wear plates. This flat stock comes in a single piece per package and is used as raw material stock for machining or fabrication in tooling and metalworking applications. At 7.68 pounds, the bar is sized for bench or mill work and ships as a single-piece unit.

This flat stock is suited for tool and die shops, machine shops, and industrial fabrication operations that require a reliable, close-tolerance D2 steel bar. Typical applications include the manufacture of blanking dies, forming dies, shear blades, gauges, and wear parts. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple short-run components from a single bar. Professional machinists and tool makers are the primary end users for this material.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose D2 tool steel flat bar for use in tooling, die-making, and precision machining applications requiring cold-work grade steel stock.

Installation Notes

Machining and fabrication of D2 tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with high-carbon tool steel stock. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hand protection, is required during cutting, grinding, or milling operations. D2 steel is typically heat-treated after machining to achieve final hardness; heat treatment should be performed in accordance with the steel grade specifications and by a qualified heat-treat facility. Secure the workpiece properly before any machining operation to prevent movement.
