About Tool steels for hot work

Tool steels for hot work are alloy steels designed for tooling that operates in contact with heated metal. They are characterised by hot hardness, wear resistance, toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue, making them suitable for dies, moulds, punches and other forging, extrusion and die-casting tools.

This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

The scale is logarithmic, not the element’s raw share of the alloy — the only honest way to fit 0.01 % and 100 % in one picture, and it means every value here can be compared with every other.

An absent property means we hold no value for it — it is left out rather than estimated, interpolated from a neighbouring grade, or filled from a handbook. It does not mean the property is undefined for the material.

Every figure holds only for the condition on its own row. Values are never merged across conditions or across sources, never averaged, and never interpolated between two rows. An em dash means no value on file — never zero. Figures are converted to the unit in the column header; the source’s own wording is kept and shown where the two differ.
