“…This alloy's special qualities have made it valuable across various sectors. Die, trimming, coining, punching, shear blades, fuller, Phillips head forming dies, thermosetting resin forming dies, cold forming dies, fine blanking, stripper plates, brick molds, chisels, pneumatic tools, deep drawing and forming dies, cold drawing punches, hobbing, blanking, lamination and stamping dies, shear blades, burnishing rolls, master tools and gauges, slitting cutters, thread rolling & wire is just a few of the many uses for AISI D2 2 – 4 . It was observed that the dielectric oil waste generated at the end of the EDM operation was very toxic and could not be reused, making the EDM process unsustainable.…”
