Tool steel refers to a variety of carbon steel and alloy steel that are particularly well-suited to be made into tools. Their suitability comes from their distinctive hardness, resistance to abrasion and deformation, and their ability to hold a cutting edge at elevated temperatures. As a result, tool steels are suited for use in the shaping of other materials.
Cold-work steels are further subdivided into:
- Air-hardening
- Medium-alloy cold-work steels
- High-carbon, high-chromium cold-work steels
- Oil-hardening cold-work steels
Hot work steels are subdivided into:
- Chromium
- Tungsten
- Molybdenum hot work steels
High-speed tool steels are divided into:
- Molybdenum
- Tungsten
- Intermediate high-speed steels
Other types of tool steels include:
- Water-hardening tool steels
- Shock-resistant tool steels
- Low-carbon tool steels
- Low-alloy special purpose tool steels.
