Tool steel refers to a variety of carbon and alloy steels that are well-suited to be made into tools. Their suitability comes from their distinctive hardness, resistance to abrasion, ability to hold a cutting edge and/or resistance to deformation at elevated temperatures. Tool steel is generally used in a heat-treated state. With a carbon content between 0.7% and 1.5%, tool steels are manufactured under carefully controlled conditions to produce the required quality.
Tool steels are made in a number of grades for different applications. Choice of grade depends on, among other things, whether a keen cutting edge is necessary, as in stamping dies, or whether the tool has to withstand impact loading and service conditions encountered with such hand tools as axes, pickaxes, and quarrying implements. Higher carbon grades are typically used for such applications as stamping dies, metal cutting tools, etc. Tool steels are also used for special applications like injection molding because resistance to abrasion is an important for a mold that will be used to produce hundreds of thousands of parts.
