Cold Work Tool Steel
Cold work tool steels are great for applications involving high wear, compressive loads, and dimensional stability at lower operating temperatures. These steels are commonly used for cutting, blanking, forming, and stamping tools where long service life and precision are essential.
With a balance of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance, our cold work tool steel grades help reduce tool wear and minimize maintenance downtime. We work closely with customers to recommend the optimal grade based on application demands, production volume, and performance goals.
Hot Work Tool Steel
Hot work tool steels are engineered to withstand extreme thermal stress, cyclic heating, and high mechanical loads. These steels are ideal for applications such as die casting, forging, extrusion, and hot forming, where resistance to heat checking and thermal fatigue is critical.
Our hot work tool steel solutions offer excellent toughness, thermal conductivity, and resistance to softening at elevated temperatures. By combining advanced steelmaking processes with application-specific guidance, we help manufacturers achieve longer tool life and consistence performance in high-temperature environments.
Plastic Mold Tool Steel
Plastic tool steels are engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of the plastics processing industry, where surface integrity and thermal stability are paramount. These grades are optimized for high polishability, excellent photo-etching properties, and superior corrosion resistance to withstand chemically aggressive resins. Whether for injection molding, compression molding, or extrusion, our plastic tool steels provide the uniform hardness and thermal conductivity necessary to ensure shorter cycle times and flawless part aesthetics. We offer a variety of pre-hardened and through-hardening grades to help you achieve the perfect balance of wear resistance and mold longevity.
Hand Knife Steel
Voestalpine supplies premium hand knife steel engineered for superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. These specialty steels are designed to perform reliably in demanding cutting applications, where consistency and durability are critical.
Our hand knife steel products support a wide range of blade designs and heat treatment requirements, enabling manufacturers and makers to achieve precise hardness and sharpness targets.
