Tool steel
The cold work tool steel has the properties of high hardness acceptance, high toughness, good wear resistance and machinability.
This material is used for the production of industrial knives, cutting tools, fine and milling tools through to heavy-duty tools. We stock this steel bar in soft-annealed condition in lengths of 4,000–6,000 mm at our warehouse location.
