What is Tool Steel?
Tool steel is a specialized carbon alloy steel designed for crafting high-quality tools.
It’s ideal for producing durable machine dies and hand tools due to its key properties: exceptional hardness, abrasion resistance, and shape retention at elevated temperatures.
Typically used in a heat-treated state, tool steel achieves enhanced hardness for demanding applications.
Types of Tool Steel
- Water Hardening
- Air Hardening
- Cold Work Tool Steel
- Hot Work Tool Steel
- Oil Hardening
- Shock-Resisting Types
What is DIN 1.2379 Steel?
DIN 1.2379, also known as D2 steel, is a high-carbon, high-chromium air-hardening cold work tool steel.
Heat-treatable to 60-62 HRC, it boasts outstanding wear and abrasion resistance due to its rich carbide content.
Widely favored for long-run cold work applications, it offers high wear resistance and compression strength.
Machinable in its annealed state, it exhibits minimal distortion during heat treatment, similar to other air-hardening steels.
Available in de-carb-free rounds, flats, squares, ground flat stock, and drill rods.
Typical Applications of 1.2379 Steel
- Blanking, Forming, and Trimming Dies
- Gauges and High-Quality Slitting Cutters
- Wear Parts and Lamination Dies
- Thread Rolling and Drawing Dies
- Rotary Cutting Dies and Knurls
- Bending Dies and Shear Blades
- Burnishing Tools and Rolls
- Machine Parts and Master Parts
- Injection Screw and Tip Components
- Seaming and Extrusion Dies
- Tire Shredders and Scrap Choppers
- Stamping Dies and Punches
- Forming Rolls and Knives
- Slitters and Tools
- Plastic Scrap Choppers and More
Why Choose DIN 1.2379 Steel?
DIN 1.2379 (D2 steel) retains its hardness up to 425°C (797°F), thanks to its chromium-rich alloy carbides, which provide exceptional resistance to wear from sliding contact with metals or abrasive materials.
This makes it a tough, edge-retaining steel, perfect for high-wear applications.
As a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-working die steel, it achieves superior hardness post-heat treatment, though it may form carbide aggregation, leading to localized extreme hardness.
Key Applications of DIN 1.2379/D2 Steel
A favorite among toolmakers, this steel excels in:
- Punching and Blanking Dies for Stainless Steel, Brass, Copper, Zinc, and Abrasive Materials
- Deep Drawing, Cupping, and Forming Dies
- Sheet Metal Forming Rolls and Shear Blades (Including Flying Shears)
- Circular Cutters for Cold-Rolled Strip
- Trimmer and Thread Rolling Dies
- Cold Extrusion Dies and Broaches
- Plug and Ring Gauges
- Master Hobs for Plastic Molds
- Special Taps and Brick Mold Liners
Fields of Application
- Drawing and Bending Tools
- Plastic Molds for Abrasive Polymers
- Machine and Cold Shear Knives
- Cold Extrusion Tools
- High-Quality Thread Rolling Dies and Rolls
- Thermoforming and Cutting Tools
- High-Performance Milling Cutters and Dies
Characteristics of DIN 1.2379/D2 Steel
- High-Alloy Steel: Offers through-hardening with moderate machinability, extreme wear resistance, low warpage, good dimensional stability, toughness, and hardenability.
- Cold Work Tool Steel: High wear resistance and good hardenability (58-62 HRC), enhanced by nitriding for a hard surface.
- Chrome-Molybdenum-Vanadium Steel: Exceptional wear resistance (surpassing 1.2080), cutting power, and pressure firmness, though with lower toughness. It’s dimensionally stable during heat treatment and suitable for secondary hardening or nitriding.
- Challenges: Difficult to sharpen, heat-workable with effort, and moderately workable in the annealed state.
Suitability of DIN 1.2379 Steel
This steel shines in:
- Cold Cutting Tools: Long-lasting tools for cutting and punching thin, hard materials, including transformer and stainless steel sheets, wire cutting knives, and plate shears (up to 10mm thick).
- Mechanical Working Tools: Drawing girders, transformation tools, thread rolling tools, and plain/profile rolls.
- Cutting Tools: Broaches, profile knives, and milling machines for low-speed cutting of nonmetallic abrasive materials.
- Highly Stressed Molds: For plastics, powders, glass, porcelain, and ceramics.
- Crushing and Grinding Tools: Crusher hammers and jaws for mild grinding.
DIN 1.2379/D2 steel combines durability, wear resistance, and versatility, making it the ultimate choice for high-performance cutting and tooling needs.
