Tool Steel Bars are specialized alloy steels engineered for making tools, dies, punches, and machine components that require high hardness, strength, and wear resistance. These bars are heat-treatable and designed to retain their hardness even under high temperatures and stress conditions.
We supply a wide range of Tool Steel Bars in various grades such as D2, A2, H13, H11, O1, M2, EN31, P20, SKD11, and more, suitable for cold work, hot work, and high-speed tool applications. Each grade serves specific industrial uses — for example, D2 is known for high wear resistance, A2 for air-hardening with good toughness, and H13 for hot work tooling.
