Die Steel is used for the manufacture of dies and molds. The alloy has an optimum level of hardness, wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance. Its excellent machinability and stability enable it to be used in precision tooling applications.
Tool Steel refers to a group of carbon and alloy steels used in making cutting tools, punches, and precision instruments. As such, it is a critical material in the automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries since it retains its sharp edge and undeformed shape.
Both types of steel have their roles in manufacturing: the other provides top-quality, long-lasting tools and parts and thus makes the production process more productive and efficient.
