•Localized dispersing of TiB2 in AISI D2 allows the formation of elevated textures.•The elevated surface features (implants) show hardness values up to 1800 HV1.•Hardness values result from dispersed particles and in-situ precipitated particles.•Implants show diameters from 150 µm up to 350 µm and h...
