What is Cold Work Tool Steel? & What is Hot Work Tool Steel?

Cold Work Tool Steel
Cold work tool steel basically is high carbon steel, the alloy content contains tungsten, manganese, chromium and molybdenum relatively low alloy steel. These alloys added to improve hardenability, allowing less distortion than the W series of quenching oil. These are relatively cheap steel, high carbon content they will produce sufficient wear resistance, used for short-term operation. It is used for all types of blanking and forming dies, gauges, fixtures, etc.

In ASTM Steel standard Cold Work Tool Steel main include the “W” (Water Hardening), “O”(Oil Hardening), “A” (Medium Alloy Air Hardening), “D” (High Carbon, High Chromium) Tool Steel Series. Typical Steel Grade like: W1, W2, W5 tool Steel; O1, O2, O6, O7 Oil Steel; A2, A4, A6,A7,A8, A9,A10, A11 Cold work Steel; D2,D3, D4,D5,D7 Steel; etc.

Hot Work Tool Steel
Hot working tool steel to make iron and nonferrous metals as well as hot forming of the workpiece at high temperature of the alloy derivative. They are used in the manufacture of pressure die casting, extrusion and forging, as well as in the process of pipe and glass manufacturing.

By heat as tool steel tool not only by the use of continuous high temperature, also occurs in the heat load fluctuation in the tool is in contact with the materials to be processed.

In ASTM Steel Standard Hot Work Tool Steel include the “H” Hot Work Tool Steel Series from H. Like H10,H11, H12, H13, H14,H19,H21 H22,H23,H24,H25,H26, H42 Steel.

As the Chemical Composition different, Classified as:

Chromium Hot Work Tool Steels

Steel Grade Number From H10 to H19. their carbon composition about 0.34-0.40, Normal Working Hardness 400~600 HV. Normal Working Temperature Below: 540°C。

Tungsten Hot Work Tool Steels

Steel Grade from H21 to H26. normal working hardness is 450-600HV.

Molybdenum Tungsten Hot Work Tool Steels.

Steel Grade Number from H41 to H43. These are low carbon, High Molybdenum , Tungsten series High Speed Tool Steel. Its usage is similar with Tungsten Series High Speed Tool Steel.

What Do YOU Know About Mold Steel Quality?

Many industries place strict requirements on the acceptable level of surface defects and imperfections that may appear on a plastic molded part. Such conditions often apply to critical components for the medical and pharmaceutical industries as well as for the manufacturers of lenses and other optical devices. However, for aesthetic reasons, many other consumer goods have similar restrictions. After all, any defect that appears on the surface of the mold steel is likely to be replicated onto the molded part. Problems associated with the texturing or polishability of a mold cavity can often be traced back to the mold steelmaking process. The material properties that have shown the greatest influence on obtaining a good surface finish are the microcleanliness level, the severity of chemical segregation and the appearance of primary carbides. The mold steel's chemical composition along with the manufacturing techniques used during its production, will determine its ability to p...

Everything You Need To Know About Injection Molding

What is Injection Molding: Injection Molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts in large volume. It is most typically used in mass-production processes where the same part is being created thousands or even millions of times in succession. Why Use Injection Molding: The principal advantage of injection molding is the ability to scale production en masse. Once the initial costs have been paid the price per unit during injection molded manufacturing is extremely low. The price also tends to drop drastically as more parts are produced. Other advantages include the following: Injection Molding produces low scrap rates relative to traditional manufacturing processes like CNC machining which cut away substantial percentages of an original plastic block or sheet. This however can be a negative relative to additive manufacturing processes like 3D printing that have even lower scrap rates. Note: waste plastic from injection molding manufacturing typically comes consistent...

M2 Tool Steel | 1.3343 | HS-6-5-2C| SKH51 AISI  M2 Tool Steel  is molybdenum based high-speed steel in tungsten–molybdenum series.  HSS  grade steel  M2  is a medium alloyed high speed steel which has good machinability. The H-SS M2 chemical composition gives a good combination of well-balanced toughness, wear resistance and red hardness properties. Widely used for cutting tools such as twist drills, taps, milling cutters, saws, knives etc. Also commonly used in cold work punches and dies and cutting applications involving high speed and light cuts. Grade M2 High Speed Steel is by far the most popular high speed steel replacing high speed steel grade  T1  in most applications because of its superior properties and relative economy. We are one of leading AISI M2 HSS steel supplier and we can offer better quality and M2 alloy steel price for your various applications. 1. Supply Range of M2  tool steel  High Speed M2 Ste...
