Tool Steel
Powder metallurgy tool steels are high alloy steels that use metal powders and high temperature isostatic pressing to make higher performance materials, where high wear resistance and a long tool life is critical.
What is Powder Metallurgy Tool Steel?
These steels have a fine, uniform structure with no segregation and therefore provide the greatest possible combination of hardness and toughness, ideal for long tool life.
Powder metallurgy uses “gas atomization” where a stream of liquid steel is passed through nitrogen sprays that instantly solidify the steel into a fine powder. That powder is then pressed into a canister at high pressure and temperature to create a solid ingot that can then be processed.
Applications
- Machining Tools
- Milling cutters
- Drills
- Broaches
- Cutting
- Stamping
- Deep drawing dies
