Hot Work Tool Steel
Hot working tool steels are used in the hot-forming of work-pieces made of iron and non-ferrous metals as well as alloy derivatives at high temperatures. They are utilised in processes such as pressure die casting, continuous casting, extrusion and drop forging as well as in tube and glass manufacturing.
Application
| Shear blades / Sleeves | Die Casting / Plunger / Forging | Extrusion and Pressing Dies |
Cold Work Tool Steel
Cold working tool steels are high carbon steels that contain alloy additions of tungsten, manganese, chromium and molybdenum, which increase the hardenability of the steels.
The high carbon content produces adequate wear resistance for short run applications.
Applications
| Dies / Fuller | Fine Blanking | Cold Forming Dies | Profiling Rollers & Press Tools |
| Coining Dies / Thread Rolls | Stripper Plates | Pneumatic Tools | Thermo-Setting Resin Forming Dies |
| Punches / Chisels / Shear Blades | Brick Moulds | Trimming Dies | Phillips Head Forming Die |

Plastic Mould Steel
Pre-hardened plastic mould steels are widely used for manufacturing mould for plastic because of their four main properties and characteristics:
- Wear Resistance; Corrosion Resistance; Mirror Finishability; Surface Workability
These steels are quenched and tempered before being manufactured into mould for plastic, therefore the deformation and cracking of mould resulted from heat treatment can be avoided.
- Plastic Mould Industry; Mould Frames; Machine Tool Engineering; Die Casting Industry; Mould Parts; Preform Dies
Machinery Steels
Machinery steels are carbon steels suitable for the working parts of the machine in general mechanical engineering industry. Different grades of steel can be applied to components with different level of stress and pressure ranging from moderate to high.All our machinery steel materials are hardened and tempered for oil quenching and water quenching. It is also suitable for flame hardening and induction hardening.
Application
| Axles / Gears | Driving gears | Eccentric shafts | Tool joints and drill collars (oil & gas industry) |
| Crankshafts | Shafts | Steering components | Short run punching and cutting tools |
| Pinions / Pins | Fasteners | Simple moulds | Base plates for mould and die |
| Arbours | Hand tools | Connecting rods | Hydrogenation vessels |
Abrasion-Resistant (AR) Steel Plate
Abrasion-Resistant (AR) steel plates have been developed specifically for long service life in harsh conditions.
