D2 Tool Steel Die Scrap from China
Broken D2 tool steel dies from stamping operations, containing 1.5% carbon and 12% chromium. This material is classified under 7204.29.00 as other alloy steel waste and scrap because D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that is not stainless (chromium content is above 10.5% but the carbon content exceeds the stainless steel definition). It is suitable for remelting.
