Tool steel

Tool steel is, in addition to heat- treated steel , a specialized type of steel that, due to its unique properties, is widely used in industry. It is characterized by high hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance

Types of tool steel

Tool steel is divided into several basic types, which differ in chemical composition and mechanical properties. The most important of these are high-speed steels, carbide steels, stainless steels, and alloy steels.

Applications of tool steel

Tool steel is widely used in various industries.

• Metal Industry - Tool steel is essential for the production of various types of cutting tools, such as milling cutters, drills and taps. Thanks to their strength and hardness, these steels allow for precise and fast metal processing.
• Woodworking industry - in the woodworking industry, tool steel is used to produce saw blades, planer knives, and milling cutters. The properties of the steel allow for long-term use of tools without the need for frequent sharpening.
• Plastics Industry - Tool steel is used to produce injection molds, which are used to shape plastics. High hardness and wear resistance make these molds durable and can be used for a long time.
• Automotive industry - tool steel is used to produce dies for stamping car body parts. These steels must be resistant to heavy loads and high temperatures that occur during the stamping process.

Tool steel is an extremely important material for industry, which, thanks to its unique properties, allows the production of durable and efficient work tools. Therefore, these steels will continue to play a key role in the development of modern technologies and production processes. Discover our tool steel offer!
