TOOL STEEL IS OUR PASSION, TOOL STEEL IS OUR PROFESSION
voestalpine High Performance Metals focuses on technologically highly specialized product segments and is the global market leader in production and distribution of tool steel and other special steels. We are fully integrated from production to sales and control the full supply chain.
We are globally one of the the leading producers of: tool steel, high-speed steel, valve steel, engineering steel, powder metallurgy-produced steels, special steels and nickel-based alloys. We also manufacture die-forged parts out of titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and high, medium and low alloy steels.
A distinction is made between cold work, hot work and plastic mold steel. Cold work steel is required for the production of stamping, embossing and cutting tools. Hot work steel is used in tools for forging, die casting and extrusion. Molds and matrixes required for the production of plastic products are produced out of plastic mold steel.
Tooling as a whole is one of the most challenging steel applications. We are the world leader in this area. Among other things, our high quality tool steel is used for the production of high volume and high quality parts in various industries. Depending on the application, high tensile strength, toughness, working hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance are required.
Especially with our powder metallurgical and electro slag remelted steels we are pushing the boundaries with regards to the tool life and performance! Each of our market leading brands has a strong value proposition for our customers.
