What are the application of tool steel?

"Tool steel" refers to the material in tools or dies that actually does the work in turning raw materials into usable parts. Example: In a stamping die the "tool steel" will cut or form the sheet metal into the finished shape. There are many different types of tool steel engineered with properties suited to the specific use. There are cutting steels, forming steels, wear resistant, hot working, shock resistant and more. Tool Steel is the steel that does the work in the forming of another material. Tool steels are used in a plunger and die configuration for compaction of powder metals into a transmission gear or a connecting rod for an automobile. They are used in the ceramics industry to compress the silica into an insulator. In the metal stamping industry they are used in a die plate and punch configuration to punch the holes in a steel sheet. In the timber industry, they are used as the knife that peels the bark from logs. In all industries, tool steels are the material DOING the work. The applications are limitless and expanding daily.
