Die Steel Manufacturer & Supplier in India
We supply high-quality Die Steel for dies, punches, moulds and industrial tools. Our range includes D2, D3, H11, H13, P20 and OHNS grades for applications that require hardness, wear resistance, strength and reliable performance.
Die Steel for Industrial Tooling Applications
Die Steel is a high-strength tool steel used to manufacture dies, punches, moulds and other industrial tools. It is selected for applications that require high hardness, wear resistance and dimensional stability.
As a Die Steel manufacturer and supplier in India, we supply different grades for cold-work, hot-work and mould applications. Therefore, customers can select a grade based on operating temperature, load, wear conditions and required tool life.
For example, D2 and D3 Die Steel are commonly used for cold-work tooling. H11 and H13, on the other hand, are suitable for many hot-work applications. In addition, P20 is widely used for mould making.
We supply Die Steel in round bars, flat bars, plates, blocks and custom-cut sizes. As a result, tool rooms and engineering companies can order material according to their machining and production requirements.

Die Steel Grades We Supply
Different tooling applications require different steel properties. Therefore, we supply several Die Steel grades for cold-work, hot-work and mould-making applications. The correct grade depends on factors such as wear, temperature, impact and required hardness.
D2 Die Steel
D2 is a cold-work tool steel with high wear resistance and good dimensional stability. Therefore, it is commonly selected for tools that face repeated abrasive wear.
Common Uses: Dies, punches, cutters, blanking tools and stamping toolsD3 Die Steel
D3 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work tool steel. It offers very high hardness and strong abrasion resistance. As a result, it is suitable for many high-wear tooling applications.
Common Uses: Press tools, drawing dies, forming dies and cutting toolsH11 Die Steel
H11 is designed for hot-work applications. In addition to good toughness, it offers useful resistance to heat and thermal shock under demanding operating conditions.
Common Uses: Hot punches, extrusion tools and forging diesH13 Die Steel
H13 is a widely used hot-work tool steel. Moreover, it provides a useful combination of toughness, heat resistance and resistance to thermal fatigue.
Common Uses: Forging dies, extrusion dies and die-casting toolsP20 Mould Steel
P20 is commonly supplied as a pre-hardened mould steel. Because of its machinability and consistent properties, it is widely used for plastic mould and die-making applications.
Common Uses: Plastic moulds, die holders and injection mouldsOHNS Die Steel
OHNS is an oil-hardening tool steel used for precision tooling. In particular, it is selected where wear resistance and dimensional stability are important.
Common Uses: Gauges, punches, dies, cutters and precision toolsDie Steel Supply Range
How to Select a Die Steel Grade
The right Die Steel grade depends on the working environment. For example, cold-work tools usually require strong wear resistance. Hot-work tools, however, must also handle higher temperatures and thermal cycling. Therefore, grade selection should consider wear, temperature, impact, hardness and required tool life.
| Grade | Steel Type | Key Characteristics | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| D2 | Cold Work | High wear resistance, high hardness and good dimensional stability | Blanking dies, punches, forming tools, cutters and stamping dies |
| D3 | Cold Work | Very high hardness and excellent abrasion resistance | Drawing dies, press tools, cutting tools and high-production dies |
| H11 | Hot Work | Good toughness, thermal resistance and shock resistance | Hot punches, extrusion tooling and forging applications |
| H13 | Hot Work | Good thermal fatigue resistance, toughness and heat resistance | Die-casting dies, extrusion dies, hot forging dies and inserts |
| P20 | Mould Steel | Good machinability and suitable properties for many mould applications | Plastic moulds, injection moulds, mould bases and die holders |
| OHNS | Cold Work | Good dimensional stability, toughness and wear resistance | Gauges, punches, cutters, precision dies and tooling components |
Applications of Die Steel
Die Steel is used in many manufacturing processes because tools often face wear, pressure, impact or heat. As a result, the selected grade must match the operating conditions and the required performance.
What to Consider Before Buying Die Steel
Selecting Die Steel should be based on the actual tooling application. Therefore, buyers should consider the operating conditions before choosing a grade or size.
Working Temperature
First, consider whether the tool will work at room temperature or under high heat. Cold-work and hot-work applications usually require different Die Steel grades.
Wear Resistance
Tools that face repeated friction or abrasive materials may require higher wear resistance. As a result, the selected grade should match the expected service conditions.
Toughness & Impact
Some tools experience shock or impact during operation. Therefore, high hardness alone may not be enough, and suitable toughness should also be considered.
Size & Machining
Finally, consider the required dimensions and machining allowance. Custom-cut sizes may reduce unnecessary machining and material waste.
