Understanding AISI D3 Tool Steel (DIN 1.2080, AFNOR Z 200 C 12, UNI X 21O Cr 13 KU, JIS SKD1, B.S. BD 3, ASTM A681, FED QQ-T-570, SAE J437, SAE J438):

AISI D3 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel renowned for its exceptional wear resistance and high compressive strength.

It’s a cold work tool steel primarily used in applications requiring prolonged edge retention and resistance to abrasion.

This makes it ideal for demanding industrial environments.

Key Properties of AISI D3 Tool Steel:

• High Wear Resistance: Due to its high carbide content, D3 exhibits excellent resistance to abrasive wear, making it perfect for tools subjected to heavy use.
• High Compressive Strength: This property enables D3 to withstand significant loads without deformation, crucial for forming and cutting applications.
• Excellent Dimensional Stability: D3 maintains its shape and size during heat treatment, minimizing distortion and ensuring precise tool performance.
• Good Hardness: D3 achieves high hardness levels, contributing to its durability and longevity.
• Poor Machinability: Due to its high hardness, D3 is challenging to machine, requiring specialized techniques and tools.
• Low Toughness: Compared to other tool steels, D3 exhibits lower toughness, making it susceptible to cracking under impact loads.
