D2 corrosion
D2 corrosion
(OP)
We are having some rust issues with D2 steel. It is 58-60 HRC. I was looking at 440C as a possible alternative to this tool steel since it can be hardened.
Are there are major downsides to using this instead?

But it isn't stainless by any stretch.
What is causing the rusting?
Have you looked at using various anti-rust agents?

We suspect it is moisture left from cleaning after manufacturing test and then a long shipping time. We just need a less susceptible alternative to D2, some of the surfaces are aesthetically important. Would another 400 series be a better option?

I see the D2 already has a high chromium content so should be fairly good if kept clean and dry.
The only option after that is to try 440C or something like 154CM with extra moly.
