cold work tool steel

Cold work tool steel is a type of high-strength, durable steel used to make tools that shape or cut materials at room temperature, such as dies and blades. It is known for its hardness, wear resistance, and ability to hold a sharp edge during repeated use. These steels are typically hardened through heat treatment after shaping, allowing them to withstand the stresses of manufacturing processes without deforming or wearing out quickly. Cold work tool steels are essential in industries like manufacturing and automotive production for creating precise, long-lasting tools and parts.
