Grades and characteristics
A2
Cold-work tool steel balancing wear resistance and resistance to edge chipping. Its hardenability suits tooling requiring dimensional stability after heat treatment.
UsesPunches, dies, forming tools and industrial knives.
View available formsD2
High-carbon, high-chromium tool steel selected for abrasive-wear resistance. It suits cold-work tooling; resistance to edge chipping must be considered for substantial impact loads.
UsesBlanking dies, punches and wear parts.
View available formsS7
Shock-resistant tool steel selected when toughness is a priority. It serves impact-loaded tooling; heat treatment sets final hardness.
H13
Chromium-molybdenum-vanadium hot-work tool steel. It is used in tooling exposed to thermal cycling, notably die casting, extrusion and forging.
H13 alone does not guarantee a remelting process or a particular quality certification.
