|---|---|---|---|
| D2 | Cold Work | High wear resistance and good dimensional stability | Dies, punches, blanking tools and stamping tools |
| D3 | Cold Work | High hardness and strong abrasion resistance | Drawing dies, press tools and cutting tools |
| H11 | Hot Work | Good toughness with heat and shock resistance | Hot punches, forging dies and extrusion tooling |
| H13 | Hot Work | Heat resistance, toughness and thermal fatigue resistance | Die-casting dies, extrusion dies and forging tools |
| P20 | Mould Steel | Good machinability for mould-making applications | Plastic moulds, injection moulds and mould bases |
| OHNS | Cold Work | Wear resistance and dimensional stability | Gauges, punches, dies and precision tools |
| O1 | Cold Work | Useful wear resistance for general tooling | Knives, gauges, cutters and tooling |
| S7 | Shock Resistant | High toughness and resistance to impact | Punches, chisels and impact tooling |
Applications of Tool Steel
Tool Steel supports many manufacturing and engineering processes. Therefore, manufacturers select grades according to wear, heat, impact and production requirements.
Different applications demand different material properties. For example, forging tools face different conditions from moulds or cold-work cutting tools.
How to Choose the Right Tool Steel
The right Tool Steel depends on the working conditions of the final tool. Therefore, buyers should review temperature, wear, impact and machining needs.
Final hardness and heat treatment can also influence tool performance. In addition, complete application details can help narrow the available options.
1. Working Temperature
First, determine the operating temperature of the tool. For example, cold-work and hot-work applications normally need different properties.
2. Wear Resistance
Next, consider the expected level of friction and abrasion. Therefore, high-wear applications may need stronger wear resistance.
3. Toughness & Impact
Some tools experience repeated shock during production. As a result, buyers should balance hardness with suitable toughness.
4. Heat Treatment
Heat treatment affects the final properties of Tool Steel. Therefore, buyers should consider required hardness and service conditions.
5. Machining Requirements
Machining requirements can influence material selection. In addition, the supplied condition may affect further processing.
6. Required Size
Finally, confirm the required dimensions and machining allowance. As a result, custom-cut material may help reduce unnecessary machining.
