Tool Steel

Wear-Resistant and Easily Machinable Steel for Demanding Applications

Tool steel is a family of hardened, easy-to-machine steels designed for industrial applications. While primarily developed for toolmaking, it’s also widely used in wear-resistant machine components and automotive parts where high strength and dimensional stability are essential.

Depending on the application, tool steel is categorized into three main categories:

  • Hot work steel – Withstands high temperatures and is used in casting and pressing tools.

  • Cold work steel – Has high wear resistance and is used for punching and cutting tools.

  • Plastic mold steel – Optimized for injection molding of plastic components requiring high surface finish and durability.
