Features
Strength in every alloy
Tool steel is a category of high-performance steel known for its high hardness, excellent wear resistance, high strength, and good toughness. It is widely used in mold manufacturing, cutting tools, measuring instruments, and industrial components. Its outstanding comprehensive performance makes it an ideal material choice for high-load, high-wear, and high-temperature environments.
High Hardness: After heat treatment, the hardness of tool steel can reach 50-70 HRC, making it suitable for tools requiring high hardness.
Excellent Wear Resistance: Tool steel can maintain a long service life under high-wear conditions.
High Strength and Toughness: While maintaining high hardness, tool steel possesses a certain level of toughness, allowing it to withstand impact loads.
Good Heat Resistance: Some tool steels can retain high hardness and strength even in high-temperature environments.

Technology
1. What is mold steel?
Mold steel is a specialized type of steel used for manufacturing molds (such as stamping, forging, and die-casting molds). It possesses high hardness, strength, wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability.
2. What are the main types of mold steel?
Cold work mold steel:Used for room-temperature molds, such as stamping molds (common grades: Cr12, Cr12MoV).
Hot work mold steel:Used for high-temperature molds, such as die-casting molds (common grades: H13, 5CrNiMo).
3. How to choose the right mold steel?
Selection should consider factors such as mold type, working conditions (temperature, stress, wear), processing techniques, and cost.
4. How to extend the service life of mold steel?
Choose the right material and optimize design.
Follow standardized processing and ensure proper usage, avoiding overloading and performing regular maintenance.
5. What are the development trends in mold steel?
High performance:Improve hardness, strength, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance.
High precision: Enhance dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
Green and environmentally friendly: Develop low-alloy, pollution-free mold steel.
