Description
D3 is an oil hardening, high carbon/chromium type tool steel with very high wear resistance. It hardens with a very slight change in size. The alloy possesses very high compressive strength and is deep hardening.
Applications
Cutting tools, stamping, woodworking, drawing, deep drawing and pressing tools, cold working rolls, measuring tools.

Soft Annealing
Heat to 800-840
oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 250. To secure uniform softness.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to
650
oC, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 940-980
oC followed by oil quenching or warm bath
approx. 400
oC. Hardness after quenching is 64-66 HRC.
For small parts up to thickness 30 mm. Harden from a temperature of 960-100
oC followed by air, comompressed air quenching. Hardness after quenching is 63-65 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: 150-400
oC.

Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1050-850
oC.
Machinability
The machinability rating of D3 is roughly 25 % that of free machining carbon steel 1018. Due to its abrasion resistant nature, machining in the hardened condition should be limited to finish grinding.
