Advantages of D3 Tool Steel in High-Wear Applications
Thanks to its unmatched wear resistance, better toughness than other steel varieties, and high hardness, D3 steel has become a favourite among mechanics and engineers working on different applications. As an added advantage, it is also an economical choice for different cold-work steel projects. Here's a briefing on the different ways this variety of steel finds its use. Shearing and Cutting of tools The D3 steel is helpful in the metalworking industry as it helps in manufacturing tools to shear and cut. Such tools include, but do not remain restricted to: Guillotine knives. Slitters. Circular-shaped saw blades. Properties like wear resistance and high hardness make it ideal for making such applications. For Cold Work Tools It is a common choice for applications involving cold work tools, such as: Dies for cold extrusion. Coining dies. Dies for cold heading. This becomes possibl...
