Is d2 tool steel high carbon steel?

Yes, D-2 is a high carbon tool steel. D-2 tool steel has about 1.55% carbon in its chemical composition. Any grade of tool steel with more than 0.5% carbon is generally considered to be a high carbon tool steel. Tool steel needs to have a minimum of .4% carbon to harden properly. For more information on tool steels, their properties and alloying element, please see the related link.


Is carbon steel a non ferrous metal?

No, carbon steel is a ferrous metal because it contains iron as the primary alloying element along with carbon. Ferrous metals are those that contain iron as a major component, whereas non-ferrous metals do not contain iron.
