High-Precision Tooling Components
Cold Work Steel
Cold work steels are high-carbon tool steels specifically engineered for components that operate at room temperatures or below 200°C. These grades are defined by their exceptional hardness, high compressive strength, and superior wear resistance—qualities essential for tools subjected to intense friction and mechanical stress. Whether for blanking, forming, or cutting, our cold work steels ensure extreme dimensional stability and long-term tooling accuracy.
Key Features
- Extreme abrasion & wear resistance
- Exceptional dimensional stability
- High compressive & impact strength
- Outstanding edge-holding capability
- Resilient against surface deformation
Main Applications
- High-precision blanking & punching dies
- Heavy-duty shear blades & slitter knives
- Metal stamping & cold forming tools
- Drawing dies & thread rolling tools
- Precision gauges & measuring tools
