Tool Die Steel

High speed steels

When tool steels contain a combination of more than 7% molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium, and more than 0.60% carbon, they are referred to as high speed steels. This term is descriptive of their ability to cut metals at 'high speeds'. Until the 1950's, T-1 with 18% tungsten, was the preferred machining steel but the development of controlled atmosphere heat treating furnaces made it practical and cost effective to substitute part or all of the tungsten with molybdenum.

Product Details:

Cold work tool steels are essentially high carbon steels, which contain relatively low alloy additions of tungsten, manganese, chromium and molybdenum. These alloy additions increase hardenability, permitting oil quenching with less distortion than with the W series. These are relatively inexpensive steels, and their high carbon content produces adequate wear resistance for short run applications. It is used for all types of blanking and forming dies, gauges, collets, etc.

Product Details:

Hot work tool steels enable the hot-forming of work-pieces made of iron and non-ferrous metals as well as alloy derivatives at high temperatures. They are utilized in processes such as pressure die casting, extrusion and drop forging as well as in tube and glass manufacturing.
Tools made from hot-work tool steels are not only subject to constantly high temperatures when employed, but also to fluctuating thermic loads occurring where the tool surfaces come into contact with the materials to be processed.
