Cold Work Tool Steels vs. Hot Work Tool Steels

May. 14, 2021

Tool steels can be classified into six categories based on their chemical composition and different applications: water hardening, cold work, impact resistance, high speed, hot work, and special purpose. Cold work tool steels are tool steels used to deform or shape metal under cold conditions. View More+

Things You Need to Know about Cold Work Tool Steels

Apr. 15, 2021

Today tools made of cold-work and high-speed steels need to fulfil ever-increasing requirements. On the one hand, this is a consequence of more modern production facilities and optimized manufacturing processes. On the other, these stem from constantly increasing demands made on the quality of the products to be manufactured. View More+

What Is Tool Steel Used for?

Mar. 18, 2021

Tool steels are used for cutting, pressing, extruding, and coining metals and other materials. Their use in tooling is essential; injection molds for example require tool steels for their resistance to abrasion- an important criterion for mold durability which enables hundreds of thousands of moldings operations over its lifetime.

What Do You Know about Oil Hardening Cold-Work Steels?

Mar. 04, 2021

Oil-hardening cold-work steels are also known as group O steels consisting of O1, O2, O6, and O7 types. These steels have a high carbon content and adequate amount of alloying elements, thus achieving better hardness when oil-quenched. View More+
