Cold Work Steel

Cold Work Steel is an alloy steel that is used specifically for manufacturing and working in low-temperature conditions. Examples include blanking and forming, punching, shearing, cold forging, cold extrusion, cold rolling, and powder pressing. Our selection of the best steel for forming tools must consider the process, the type of material formed, and the number of workpieces made.
