D3 steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel often used for die. It has excellent wear resistance and toughness, making it a popular choice for applications that require both strength and durability. D3 steel offers good dimensional stability during heat treatment and can be easily machined with proper equipment and tools. It is typically used for punching and forming dies, blanking and shearing blades, and industrial cutting tools.
