Value Collection 86320074 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86320074 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 piece measures 18 inches in overall length, 3/4 inches in width, and 5/16 inches in thickness, and weighs 1.21 pounds. Length tolerance is plus 0.062 inches. Width and thickness tolerances are plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches. Square tolerance is 0.010 to 0.015 inches. It is sold as a single piece and is ready for machining, grinding, or heat treating as required by the application.

D2 flat stock is commonly used by tool and die makers, machinists, and mold builders in both job shop and production environments. Typical applications include blanking dies, forming dies, punches, wear plates, and cutting tools where high surface hardness and abrasion resistance are needed after hardening. This bar size is well suited for smaller tooling components and precision workholding fixtures.

Installation Notes

Machining of D2 tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate cutting tools rated for high-alloy steels. Heat treating, including hardening and tempering, should follow established metallurgical procedures for D2 grade and be performed by a qualified heat treat facility. Always secure the workpiece firmly before cutting or grinding operations. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with metal stock.
