1.2379 is a tool steel with a carbon content of 1.5%, a chromium content of 11.5%, and a hardness of up to 60HRC after heat treatment. It is a kind of semi-stainless steel. D2 steel has good wear resistance and moderate toughness. The disadvantage is that the corrosion resistance is slightly insufficient. It is a kind of steel that is more suitable for practical use. Bob Dozier likes to use D-2. D2 steel is highly wear-resistant, slightly deformed cold work die steel, wind-hardened tool steel. D2 steel can be used to manufacture cold work die steels with large cross-sections, complex shapes, high impact resistance, and high wear resistance, such as silicon steel sheet die, cold cutting scissors, trimming die, etc.

Use of 1.2379 tool steel including: thread rolling and dies, fracture sensitive cuts, sinking and printing cups, friers, reamers, sockets, shear knives, space needles, machine knives, cutting tools, etc.

1.2601 steel is in the family of chilling tool steels, which has high chromium, has high hardness and abrasion resistance against scratches and adhesions, and also has high dimensional stability during heat treatment. The Bohler standard for this steel is K105. The chemical composition of this steel is similar to 1.2080, with the difference that 1.2601 steel has more desirable abrasion resistance due to its tungsten and vanadium.
