Overview of DIN 1.2379, AISI D2, and SKD11 Tool Steel

What is DIN 1.2379 Tool Steel?

DIN 1.2379, also known as AISI D2 or SKD11, is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work tool steel renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, high hardness, and excellent edge retention. This versatile steel grade is widely used in applications requiring durability and precision, such as cutting tools, dies, and moulds. Its ability to withstand abrasive wear and maintain dimensional stability makes it a preferred choice for industries like aluminum die casting, sheet metal cutting, and plastic moulds making.

Chemical Composition

The chemical composition of DIN 1.2379 (AISI D2, SKD11) contributes to its superior performance:

Carbon (C): 1.45–1.60% (enhances hardness and wear resistance)

Chromium (Cr): 11.00–13.00% (improves corrosion resistance and hardness)

Molybdenum (Mo): 0.70–1.00% (increases toughness and strength)

Vanadium (V): 0.90–1.10% (enhances wear resistance and grain refinement)

Manganese (Mn): 0.20–0.60% (improves hardenability)

Silicon (Si): 0.10–0.60% (enhances strength)

Phosphorus (P): ≤0.03% (reduces brittleness)

Sulfur (S): ≤0.03% (improves machinability)

Properties of DIN 1.2379 / AISI D2 / SKD11

High Hardness: Achieves 58–62 HRC after heat treatment, ideal for cutting and forming tools.

Excellent Wear Resistance: Resists abrasive wear, extending tool life.

Good Toughness: Balances hardness with toughness to prevent chipping.

Dimensional Stability: Maintains shape during heat treatment, ensuring precision.

Moderate Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for environments with mild corrosive conditions.

Applications

Milano Special Steel supplies DIN 1.2379 / AISI D2 / SKD11 for a wide range of applications:

Aluminum Die Casting: Precision dies for high-volume production.

Pressure Die Casting: Durable moulds for complex components.

Sheet Metal Cutting: Blades and punches for clean, precise cuts.

Cutting Tools Manufacturing: Knives, shear blades, and slitting tools.

Plastic Moulds Making: Moulds for injection moulding and extrusion.

Automotive Industry: Components like gears and precision parts.

Forging Industry: Dies for hot and cold forging.

Industrial Machinery: Wear-resistant parts for heavy-duty equipment.

Defense Industry: Components for high-precision applications.

Equivalent and Alternative GradesDIN 1.2379, AISI D2, and SKD11 are equivalent grades, sharing similar compositions and properties. However, depending on specific requirements, alternative grades may be considered:
DIN 1.2080 (X210Cr12): Higher carbon content for extreme wear resistance but lower toughness.
AISI O1: Oil-hardened tool steel with good machinability but lower chromium content.
DC53: A Japanese tool steel with improved toughness and wear resistance for specific applications.
H13: Hot-work tool steel suitable for high-temperature applications like forging.
Our team at Milano Special Steel can guide you in selecting the right grade based on your application, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.

Differences Between DIN 1.2379, AISI D2, and SKD11
While DIN 1.2379, AISI D2, and SKD11 are essentially the same alloy with minor regional naming differences, their specifications adhere to different standards:
DIN 1.2379: German standard, widely used in Europe.
AISI D2: American standard, popular in North America.
SKD11: Japanese JIS standard, prevalent in Asia.
The chemical composition and properties remain nearly identical, but slight variations in manufacturing tolerances or heat treatment processes may occur based on regional standards. At Milano Special Steel, we ensure all three grades meet stringent quality requirements, making them interchangeable for most applications.
