Sahil Metals stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, specializing in high-quality Tool and Die Steel D2 Bars that are designed for outstanding performance and durability. With their unique blend of high carbon and high chromium, D2 Bars offer remarkable wear resistance, hardness, and dimensional stability, making them a go-to choice for the tooling and die-making sectors. At Sahil Metals, we take pride in producing each bar with precision, ensuring they deliver superior toughness and a long service life, even in high-stress environments. Our D2 Bars come in a variety of sizes and specifications to meet the diverse needs of automotive, industrial, and engineering applications.
Tool and Die Steel D2 Bars are high-carbon, high-chromium tool steels that typically contain about 1.5–2% carbon and 11–13% chromium, along with trace amounts of vanadium and molybdenum. This specific composition grants D2 exceptional wear resistance, impressive compressive strength, and solid toughness. After heat treatment, the steel achieves a hardness level between 55–62 HRC and maintains its dimensional stability during use. Thanks to its high chromium content, D2 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to other tool steels, and its excellent hardenability makes it ideal for challenging machining and forming tasks.
