DIPTI METAL INDUSTRIES
Leading SLD Stockist, SLD Supplier & SLD Exporter (SKD11 / D2 / 1.2379 Steel) in Mumbai, India
Dipti Metal Industries (A KMR Group Company) is the globally recognized SLD Supplier, SLD Exporter, and the foremost SLD Stockist of General-Purpose Cold Work Die Steel in Mumbai, India. SLD, equivalent to JIS SKD11, AISI D2, and W.-Nr. 1.2379, is the industrial benchmark for cold-work tool steels. Characterized by its high carbon and high chromium content, SLD offers an exceptional balance of superior wear resistance, high hardenability, and excellent dimensional stability after heat treatment. As a premier SLD Distributor, we supply certified Round Bars, Flats, and Forged Blocks to manufacturers of forming rolls, shear blades, and heavy-duty blanking dies across 75+ countries.
🏭 Strategic Specialization in High-Wear Tooling Solutions
As the primary SLD Supplier in Mumbai, Dipti Metal Industries specializes in the most versatile grade of cold work die steel. While many suppliers offer standard D2, our SLD stock is sourced from mills utilizing refined melting practices to ensure uniform carbide distribution. This minimizes the risk of chipping and provides consistent performance in high-load industrial forming. Whether for forming rolls or precision shears, our SLD material ensures maximum tool life and reduced production downtime.
