View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.GUTERL D-2 is a high-hardenability tool and die steel of the high-carbon, high-chromium type. It has high compressive strength, his resistance to abrasion, minimum distortion in hardening but only fair toughness. Among its many uses are rolls, punches, shear blades, lathe centers and many types of cutting and forming dies.
