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.THYRODUR 2379 (AISI D2) is an air hardening, high carbon chromium die steel, well suited for long run tool and die applications. It is capable of great hardness and high resistance to abrasive wear. It is non-deforming; consistent in response to all machining, heat treating and production operations; and is somewhat corrosion resistant.
