Cold work steel

In cold work steel is tool steel , which can be used for processing temperatures up to 200 ° C. Unalloyed cold work steels are mainly used in tool making, where a tough component core is required. Alloyed cold work steels are used in mold making and in the food industry when a higher overall strength is required. Values ​​from 1900 to 3200 MPa can be specified as a guide value for the 0.2% proof stress.
