Tool steel is an indispensable material for the manufacturing industry. Its high hardness, wear resistance and tempering resistance enable the production of tools and moulds that operate reliably even under extreme conditions.
Werkzeugstahl
The basis for long-lasting tools
It doesn’t always have to be a texture – it can sometimes be a cast outline.
Properties of tool steel
High hardness
Retains its shape even under heavy loads.
High wear resistance
Increased service life and tool life.
Good toughness
Protects tool steel from breakage and cracking.
High resistance to ignition
They retain their hardness and strength even at elevated temperatures.

Tool steel is the key to durable and precise tools. It is used in metalworking for drill bits, milling cutters and punching tools, in the plastics industry for injection moulds, and in woodworking for saw blades. It is also used in the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as in medical technology.
