toolsteels
Tool steels are a class of carbon tool steels and alloy tool steels that are particularly suited for the fabrication of tools. Their essential characteristics are hardness, toughness, and resistance to wear and deformation at both room and elevated temperatures. They are typically used in the hardened and tempered condition. These steels are defined by their chemical composition and are characterized by the presence of alloying elements such as tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, and chromium.
The different types of tool steels are classified based on their properties and intended application. Common
The production of tool steels involves careful control of melting, forging, heat treatment, and finishing processes.
