Product type
Tool steel is a type of specialty steel that is designed for manufacturing tools and dies. It is known for its hardness, resistance to abrasion, and ability to retain shape at high temperatures. Typically made from a combination of carbon and alloying elements, tool steel is heat-treated to enhance its properties, making it suitable for various demanding applications.
| Material Composition | Carbon and alloying elements like chromium, vanadium, and molybdenum |
| Hardness Range | 58 to 67 HRC |
| Standard Sizes | Available in bars, sheets, and custom shapes |
| Heat Treatment | Quenching and tempering processes |
| Common Grades | D2, A2, O1, S7, M2 |
When selecting tool steel, consider the specific application and required properties such as hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. Specify the grade of tool steel based on the intended use, as different grades offer varying performance characteristics. Additionally, provide information on desired sizes, quantities, and any necessary certifications to ensure compliance with industry standards.
