COLD WORK TOOL STEEL

These steels are aimed at the manufacturing of tools used in cold processing of other steels, cast irons and non ferrous metals and in diversified operations such as cutting, bending, forming, coining, extrusion, steel wire drawings, wooden work, ceramic pressing, pigment grinding, rock drilling, paper cutting and various other applications. The alloying elements increase the steel’s hardenability, and thus require a less severe quenching process and as a result are less likely to crack.
