Tool steels designed for the hot deformation of metals and their alloys through processes such as forging, extrusion, and die casting.
During their operation, they are subjected to temperatures above 200°C.

Tool steels designed for the cold deformation of metals and their alloys through stamping processes where temperatures are below 200°C.

Tool steels characterized by their resistance to wear, compression, and corrosion, used in the processing of plastics for extrusion and molding.

The term “powder metallurgy” refers to the sequence of operations that lead to the compaction and transformation of a metallic powder material into an indivisible material.

High-speed steels are distinguished by their remarkable hardness and resistance to abrasion, resulting from variations in carbon content and the addition of alloying elements such as chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, and cobalt.
