High hardness and wear resistance, sufficient strength, appropriate toughness

What is cold work tool steel?

Cold work tool steel focuses on hardness and wear resistance. The carbon content is high, and the alloying elements are mainly to increase the hardenability and improve the wear resistance. Cold work tool steel includes die for making punching (blanking punching die, trimming die, punch, scissors), cold heading die and cold extrusion die, bending and drawing die, etc.
