Both flat and round are available in all sizes.
D6 tool steel is also used where we require maximum wear resistance
| Element Content (%) |

| Vanadium 0.20 |
| Silicon max 0.35 |
D6 tool steel is heated slowly and uniformly to 700°C and then rapidly to 900-1050°C. It is cooled slowly after forging, preferably in the furnace.
D6 tool steel is supplied in the annealed condition and in the machineable condition. If forging or hardening of the component is done, then it has to be re-annealed. D6 tool component is heated to 800-840°C and slowly cooled in the furnace. 225 brinell is the hardness attained after annealing.
If heavy machining is done or if the tool has some unbalanced section, stresses must be removed before hardening by heating it up to 650-700°C, then equalize and slowly cool down.
D6 tool steel is heated slowly at 750-800°C before it is raised to the hardening temperature of 950-980°C . Soaking needs to be done thoroughly . Air cooling or oil quenching is preferred. . D6 tool steel is suitable for vacuum (i.e. high speed gas) hardening.
D6 tool steel is heated uniformly and thoroughly at a selected tempering temperature and held for at least 1 hour /25mm of total thickness. We recommend double tempering and then intermediately cool down to room temperature.
| Temperature [°C] | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 |
| Hardness [HRc] | 63 | 62 | 60 | 58 | 56 | 48 |
It needs to be done in good condition using a suitable dressing tool.We recommend wet grinding. If dry grinding is done, then must use a very soft wheel for the same.
With our material,we provide mill test certificate and ultrasonic Ok certificate (Note: Provide only if mentioned before placing the order).
