Tight-Tolerance Wear-Resistant D2 Tool Steel Rods

- Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B110 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C62
- Specifications Met: ASTM A681
All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to tight diameter and straightness tolerances. They’re also known as drill rod. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.
