Semih Metals, based in Istanbul, Turkey, has made a name for itself as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of D2 Steel Rods, catering to industries all around the world. With a reputation for precision engineering, durability, and strict adherence to international standards, the company guarantees that its products perform exceptionally well in even the most demanding applications. D2 Steel Rods are known for being air-hardening, high-carbon, high-chromium tool steels, celebrated for their remarkable hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. By blending innovation with advanced metallurgy and dependable service, Semih Metals has become a trusted ally in delivering high-performance tool steel solutions to the automotive, engineering, and industrial sectors globally.
These D2 Steel Rods contain about 1.5% carbon, 11–13% chromium, along with trace amounts of vanadium, molybdenum, and manganese, striking a perfect balance between hardness and toughness. Thanks to their high chromium content, these rods showcase excellent wear and abrasion resistance, as well as impressive dimensional stability. With tensile strength surpassing 700 MPa and hardness ratings reaching 60–62 HRC after heat treatment, they excel in maintaining cutting efficiency and edge retention, even under pressure. Their unique combination of hardness, machinability, and durability makes D2 Steel Rods a reliable choice for crafting tools and components that face severe wear and heavy loads.
