Decarb-Free Tool Steel Round: 1" Dia, 3' OAL, D-2 (Air Hardening) Tool Steel MPN:35574482

Decarburization is a common problem in air-hardening tool steels like D-2, which can result in loss of strength and brittleness at the edge due to exposure to high temperatures or rusting. However, this decarb-free 1 diameter x 3' length D-2 tool steel round is specifically designed with unique chemistry and processes to eliminate decarburization issues entirely. This makes it ideal for applications requiring exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and strength retention at high temperatures. Its precision-ground surface ensures a consistent and burr-free finish, reducing the risk of chip entrapment or damage during operation. By eliminating decarb issues, this tool steel round increases efficiency and durability while minimizing downtime for resharpening or replacement in demanding industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and metalworking manufacturing. Its high quality makes it an indispensable asset in any professional's toolkit.
