ABOUT CPM D2:
CPM D2 is a premium version of traditional D2 tool steel manufactured using Crucible Industries' CPM (Crucible Particle Metallurgy) process. It combines the excellent wear resistance and edge retention of D2 with improved toughness, finer grain structure, and more consistent performance.
Composition (Approximate)
• Carbon: 1.55%
• Chromium: 11.5–12%
• Vanadium: 0.9%
• Molybdenum: 0.8%
• Manganese: 0.3%
• Silicon: 0.3%
What Makes CPM D2 Different?
Traditional D2 is made by conventional ingot metallurgy, which can produce large carbide clusters throughout the steel. CPM D2 is made by atomizing molten steel into tiny powder particles, then hot isostatically pressing them into solid billets.
The result:
• Much finer, evenly distributed carbides
• Greater toughness
• Better grindability
• More consistent heat treatment
• Improved edge stability
