Below you will find an overview of the vast Tool Steel product lines that are available from your "One Stop Shopping Center" New West Metals Inc. COLD WORK TOOL STEELS Cold work tool steels comprise the family of tool steels with a combination of wear, toughness and compressive strength characteristics allowing relatively heavy forming and cutting operations at room temperature. Cold work tool steels are used for blinking or trim dies, forming dies, coining dies, drawing dies, punches, shear blades, knives, thread- rolling , dies, forming rolls or any other applications involving cutting or shaping of metals. These grades can also be used as molds for abrasive plastic molding applications. Grades of Cold Work Tool Steels AISI 01, AISI A-2, AISI D-2, D-4, AISI M-2, AISI M-4, AISI S-7 (Shock Resistant), AISI S-5 (Shock Resistant) AISI L-6, AISI A-11 A-6. HIGH SPEED TOOL STEEL (CUTTING TOOLS) T- Grade and M- Grade tool steels are used for cutting tools where strength and hardness must be retained at temperatures up to or exceeding 760 degrees Celsius or 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit) M-Grade tool steel was developed to reduce the amount of tungsten and chromium required T-1 is the most common T-Grade Alloy. M-2- is the most common M-Grade Alloy. To provide good cutting tool performance a high speed steel must have three basic characteristics. 1) Capacity for heat treatment to high room temperature hardness from Rockwell hardness RC 63 to a max RC 68. High hardness is necessary for good wear resistance 2) The capacity for maintaining high hardness at elevated temperatures also referred as red Hardness. 3) Impact Toughness must be able to handle interrupted cut tooling applications. * All high speed steels must be capable of being fabricated, hot worked, and machined, ground and whatever is needed to manufacture a given cutting tool. Grades of High Speed Tool Steel AISI M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4 AISI M-7, AISI T-1 AISI T-15 AISI M-42 HOT WORKING TOOL STEELS The H Grade Tool Steels were developed for strength and hardness during prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. All of these tool steels use a substantial amount of carbide forming alloys. Grades of Hot Working Tool Steel AISI H-10, H-11, H-12, H-13 AISI H-19, H-21 H-13 is the most common hot working tool steel. MOLD MATERIALS & PLASTIC TOOLING New West Metals Inc.
