These applications include knife blades, thread rolling dies, lamination dies, blanking dies, forming dies, trimming dies, stamping dies, coining dies, drawing dies, extrusion dies, punches, punch plates, shear and slitter blades, gauges, knurling tools, rolls, mandrels and machine parts.
It combines excellent shock and abrasion resistance with good red hardness making it ideal for use in die casting. Most commonly used in plastic molds and die casting, its ability to withstand rapid cooling from high working temperatures also make it a prime choice for use in extrusion dies.
While designed to be a versatile hot work grade, H13 tool steel has been useful in cold work applications as well, particularly when extra toughness is desired but wear resistance is not important. Other applications include: trimming dies, extrusion dies, forging dies, die casting, forming punches, hot shear blades and mold dies. O1 tool steel is an oil hardening, cold work general purpose steel with easy machining properties and low hardening temperatures compared to other grades.
O1 provides good wear resistance and toughness sufficient for standard tool and die applications making it a suitable choice for tooling with good tool life and econimcal production. In situations that require greater size stability during hardening, A2 should be considered. Some common applications include: bending dies, trimmer dies, perforators, broaches, blanking dies, forming dies, gages, cutting dies, bushings, forming rolls, knives, drawing dies, and embossing dies.
M2 tool steel is the most commonly used grade of the high speed category. It is a molybdenum tungsten grade with excellent toughness, wear resistance and red hardness, making it preferable in applications where it is exposed to high heat condition from high machining speeds.
M2 tool steel is generally suitable for use in applications specified for T1 high speed steel. Some applications include: drill bits, reamers, taps, gear cutters, lathe tools, broaches, boring tools, forming rolls, inserts, punches, milling cutters and end mills. This results in a sharper cutting edge that lasts longer, even when being used to machine high-hardness and hard-to-machine alloys in heavy duty and high production applications.
M42 tool steel can be heat treated to a hardness greater than any other high speed steel and achieves the highest level of red hardness making it ideal stainless steels or any other hard to machine grades. This material has been hardened to Rc.
Typical uses include milling cutters, broaches, taps, drill bits, reamers, punches, saws, knives, and thread rolling dies. H Generally, no heat treatment is required. If heat treatment is G 37 M carried out, e. K 34 Mirror Polishability M 31 1.

This material has been hardened to Rc. Typical uses include milling cutters, broaches, taps, drill bits, reamers, punches, saws, knives, and thread rolling dies. S7 tool steel is a shock resisting grade with superior impact properties combined with high toughness, machinability and size stability during heat treating.
Typical applications include: plastic molding dies, riveting diesk, forming dies, chisels, punches, blanking dies, die casting, master hobs, shear blades, engraving dies, moll points, drills, notching dies, bending dies. W1 tool steel is a water hardening grade and one of the oldest grades of tool steel around.
Despite the advances of the air and oil hardening grades, W1 maintains its usefulness in applications that require a softer core, high hardness and machinability, along with a relatively low cost. W1 is shallow hardening, possesses great toughness and is one of the easiest grades to grind and machine.
With its high carbon content it can often be used without further heat treatment methods. Common applications include: drills, knives, collets, pipe cutters, forming dies, gauges, embossing dies, draw punches, bushings, forming rolls, wood augers. Chemical Composition: Carbon: 0. A6 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold work grade which combines the advantages of a low hardening temperature range similar to that of oil hardening grades along with deeper hardening properties comparable to air hardening grades.
A6 tool steel experiences minimal distortion compared to other air hardening grades or the oil hardening grades.
