Tool Steel Supplier

Surface coating technologies for tool steels are numerous some of which are summarised below, these type of surface coatings find use in drills, reamers, bore cutters, shank cutters, taps, milling tools and dies Steam Tempering Steam tempering gives a strongly adhering blue oxide surface, which acts to retain cutting fluid and prevent chip to tool welding and thereby counteract the formation of built up edge.  Steam tempering can be applied to any bright tool but finds application mainly on drills and taps. Bronze Finish A bronze finish is a thin oxide layer formed on the tool surface and it is applied principally to cobalt high-speed steels. Nitriding Nitriding is a process, which is used to increase the hardness and wear resistance of the surface of a tool.  Particularly suitable for taps that are used on abrasive materials such as castings, bakelite, and the like.  Nitriding is used on twist drills when it is desirable to increase the strength and wear r...

D2 Tool Steel | 1.2379 | X153CrMo12 | SKD11 We are professional cold works  D2 tool steel  supplier for more than two decades. We supply AISI /  ASTM A681  cold works  D2 tool steels alloy steel materials in reliable quality and for attractive price for sale. We have deep knowledge of D2  tool steel ’s chemical composition and properties. Contact us for any D2 tool steel materials demands. Cold Works D2 tool steel is a high carbon, high chromium tool steel (12% chrome) with extremely high wear resisting properties, heat treatable to 60-62 Rc. D2 steel is very wear resistant but not as tough as lower alloyed steels. D2 tool steel hardens in air with a low order of movement and offers a measure of corrosion resistance when polished. The high percentage of chromium gives it mild corrosion-resisting properties in the hardened condition. The mechanical properties of D2 are very sensitive to heat treatment. D2 steel is available in de-carb free rounds, flats...
