Tool and Molding

Characteristics and Classification

Tool and molding steels play a crucial role in the manufacturing industry. After adding various metal components, they possess characteristics such as high hardness, durability, abrasion resistance, resistance to deformation, and tolerance to extreme temperatures. According to different manufacturing processes, they can be classified into cold work steel, hot work steel, and plastic mold steel. Cold work steel is low in cost and durable. It is used in dies for drawing, stamping, etc., as well as in gauges. For example, the doors of automobiles are mostly stamped from cold work steel. Hot work steel is used in high-temperature processes such as die casting. Plastic mold steel is used to shape numerous plastic parts.

Importance in the Market

In the tool and mold market, the application of steel is at the core. Tool production has a high requirement for abrasion resistance, which is the key to the durability of molds. Due to its own excellent qualities and abrasion resistance, tool steel has become the top choice for mold manufacturing. Compared with other materials, it can support a large number of molding operations. Its high hardness, as well as its heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, can reduce material loss, improve production efficiency, and enhance product quality.
