In this paper an attempt has been made to improve the properties of cutting tool like hardness, toughness & wear resistance by forging & heat treatment processes, hence we have selected D-Series tool steel (D1,D2,D3,D4) for our test. Common applications of these tool steels are in forging dies, die-casting die blocks, drawing dies etc.. This is an attempt to check whether these tool steels can be used as cutting tools at high temperature. This work evaluates Rockwell hardness, micro hardness, force analysis and impact properties. The results reveal that, hardness of D-series tool steels improved by forging and heat treatment processes.
