Cold work tool steel specifications are stocked in round bar, flat bar and plate which can be bandsaw cut to your specific requirements. Cold work steel specifications are held in International Standards including BS4659, BS EN ISO 4957, AISI, Werkstoff Nr and DIN designations. Cold works grades are through hardening steels which can be heat treated to a high Rockwell hardness. These grades are ideally suited for the manufacture of tools working in a surface temperature of not more than 200°C. With a well balanced alloy content cold work specifications offer high wear resistance, good toughness, excellent compressive and impact strength and high dimensional stability in heat treatment. Cold work grades combine wear and toughness characteristics which suit relatively heavy forming and cutting operations at room temperature.

Plastic mould tool steel specifications are stocked in round bar, flat bar and plate that can be bandsaw cut to your specific requirements. Plastic mould steel specifications are held in International Standards such as BS4659, BS EN ISO 4957, AISI, Werkstoff Nr and DIN designations. Plastic mould tool steel grades offer a high wear resistance, good polishability and etching ability with adequate corrosion resistance.
