We offer tool steel as plates, bars and blocks

Tool steel is a collective group of different types of steel used for different types of applications.

Originally, the term tool steel referred to the types of steel used for different types of hand tools. It was steel that could be ground into sharp edges for cutting machining in e.g. wood. Since then, the concept has grown to other areas over time. Today, people talk about tool steel as an area that is generally called industrial tools.

Tool steel can be divided into different groups

Steel for industrial tools can be divided into the following groups: cold working steel, hot working steel, plastic mold steel and high-speed steel.

  • Plastic mold steel: A type of steel used for tools for molding plastic and light metals such as zinc and aluminum. In this process, a melt is pressed into a steel mold under high pressure. The steel has good resistance to abrasive and corrosive wear. Examples are 1.2311, 1.2312, 1.2085 and 1.2316
  • High-speed steel: Has very good cutting properties and is used in the manufacture of tools that create high frictional heat, such as turning steel or drills. The steel retains its strength up to 600 ° C. Examples of steel are: 1.3243 and 1.3343
  • Cold working steel: Suitable for tools not exceeding 200 ° C. The steel has good wear resistance, hardness, toughness and withstands high pressure. Examples are 1.2363 1.2510 1.2842
  • Hot working steel: Used in applications such as hot forming over 300 ° C. These steels have better resistance to heat abrasion, thermal fatigue, cracking and plastic deformation. Examples are: 1.2367 1.2344
