Tool Steels are produced in many chemical compostions. They are divided into categories based on their intended use or their heat treating method. The categories include cold work, hot work, high-speed, shock-resisting, oil hardening etc. Within each of these categories there are limitless grades, each with a different chemical compostion.
Generally, tool steels will have a minimum of .4% carbon with additions of manganese, vanadium, chromium, molybdenum and silicon with the balance of the composition being iron. These elements are added in various percentages to achieve a tool steel that will perform a required purpose.
For more information on tool steels and their alloying elements, properties and heat treating, see the related link.

How does D2 toolsteel compare to S7 tool steel?
D2 tool steel is a steel, tool steel. For cold rolled steel, D2.
Are a36 and tool steel the same?
No, A36 is a mild structural steel and tool steel is a high strength alloy steel
Is steel an element of iron?
No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel. Certainly other elements can be added for different reasons, like chromium for the production of stainless steel. But it is iron and carbon that make steel.
Do you use cast iron or steel for claw hammers?
claw hammer is a tool and hence tool steel can be a good choice.
What chemical used to harden tool steel?
carbon,
What elements make steel?
iron
How does D2 toolsteel compare to S7 tool steel?
D2 tool steel is a steel, tool steel. For cold rolled steel, D2.
Is hardness of steel a chemical property?
Yes. Various elements are added to steel to make it harder, or stainless, etc. Tungsten is typically added to iron to make harder steel, but there are other elements for this, also.
What is the function of alloying elements in tool steels?
Alloying elements in tool steels are added to enhance specific properties such as hardness, wear resistance, toughness, and corrosion resistance. They help improve the performance and durability of the steel in various cutting, forming, and shaping applications. Alloying elements can also influence the steel's machinability and heat-treating characteristics.
What elements make up mild steel?
Iron and carbon.
Are a36 and tool steel the same?
No, A36 is a mild structural steel and tool steel is a high strength alloy steel
What two elements are used to make steel?
The two elements that make up steel are mainly carbon and iron.
Which form of carbon would make the best cutting or drilling tool?
The form of carbon that would make the best cutting or drilling tool is Carbon steel.
What material of steel rule?
Tool steel.
What two elements make iron?
Iron is an element in its own right. So there are no two elements that make iron. However, Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron and Carbon are tweo different elements. So steel contains two different elements.
What elements make up car wheels?
Some are steel, some aluminum.
Is steel an element of iron?
No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel. Certainly other elements can be added for different reasons, like chromium for the production of stainless steel. But it is iron and carbon that make steel.
