Decarb-Free Tool Steel Round: 5/8" Dia, 6' OAL, D-2 (Air Hardening) Tool Steel MPN:35574565

Titan Tools D-2 Air Hardening decarb-free tool steel round is specifically designed to reduce decarburization when heat treated. This grade is recommended for users working with medium to high carbon steels in applications such as knives, punches, and die inserts that require dimensional stability and hardness retention after prolonged exposure to high temperatures up to 1750F (954C). With its chemically homogeneous composition devoid of retained austenite, this decarb-free variant offers consistent hardness without the risk of white etching or grain growth defects thus providing improved edge retention and toughness over competing products suitable for tool makers or manufacturers aiming to eliminate decarb risks under demanding service conditions.
