What are the classifications of tool steel?
Tool steel is a type of steel used to make a variety of tools and molds and usually has good hardness, toughness and wear resistance. Tool steels can be divided into several different classifications based on their chemical composition and use.
1. High-speed steel: High-speed steel is a widely used tool steel with excellent wear resistance and high temperature resistance. It is suitable for manufacturing high-speed cutting tools such as cutting tools, drill bits, and milling cutters. Usually contains a high proportion of carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt and other elements, which can effectively improve the hardness and wear resistance of steel.
2. Carbon tool steel: Carbon tool steel is a tool steel with a high carbon content. Its main features are high hardness and strength. Usually used to make hand tools, cold stamping dies, hot stamping dies, etc.
3. Chromium-molybdenum steel: Chromium-molybdenum steel is a tool steel containing high chromium and molybdenum elements. Its main features are good wear resistance, high hardness, and strong fatigue resistance. It is suitable for manufacturing large molds, cutting tools, and machine tools. Parts etc.
4. Manganese steel: Manganese steel is a tool steel containing high manganese content. Its main features are good wear resistance and strong impact resistance. It is suitable for manufacturing wear-resistant parts, impact parts, etc.
5. Tungsten steel: Tungsten steel is a kind of tool steel containing high tungsten element. Its main characteristics are high hardness, good wear resistance and strong resistance to thermal expansion. It is suitable for manufacturing high-temperature cutting tools, wear-resistant parts, etc.
6. Tungsten steel: Tungsten steel is a tool steel containing a high content of tungsten. Its main features are high hardness and good wear resistance. It is suitable for manufacturing dies, molds, etc.
7. Steel: Steel is a widely used tool steel. Its main features are good wear resistance, high hardness and strong heat resistance. It is suitable for manufacturing molds, dies, cutting tools, etc.
The classification of tool steel is different according to its chemical composition and use. Each type of tool steel has its own unique characteristics and scope of application.
