You can use the steel plates, they just won't cool as fast as the aluminum would. That will affect your results but only testing it will tell you exactly what the difference might be. My guess is, no matter what you do to that stuff it will seem to make a decent blade. My personal issue with D2 is that a couple of the blades I made cracked about a year after the knives were finished and they were not abused. So, it might seem to be a good blade but only time and testing will tell.
We used to say D2 takes a lousy edge but it holds it forever ....
