Hot Work Tool Steel: Grades, Properties, Hardness, Heat Treatment & Applications
Hot work tool steel is designed for one purpose – to resist heat that would ruin common steel. It is the material behind the dies, molds, punches and blades that are hammered and squeezed and repeatedly heated and cooled – in die casting, forging, extrusion, hot stamping and hot shearing. And what makes it different […]
What is Alloy Tool Steel ?
Alloy tool steel is a type of tool steel that is specifically alloyed with various elements to enhance its mechanical properties and performance in specific tooling applications. It is widely used in the production of cutting tools, dies, and molds where high strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required. The alloying elements added to tool […]
