Wisconsin Tool Steel Casting
Tool steel is a high-carbon steel specifically designed for manufacturing tools and dies due to its exceptional hardness, wear resistance and ability to maintain a sharp edge. These steels are alloyed with elements such as chromium, molybdenum and vanadium to enhance their performance under high-stress conditions. Tool steel is commonly used in applications like cutting tools, molds, and industrial machinery, making it essential for various manufacturing processes.

Tough-to-Beat Characteristics of Tool Steel Castings
Made from the combination of carbon and alloy steels, tool steel provides everlasting results for every mechanical apparatus. Its true hardness and sustainability gives the material an edge.
Take advantage of the ferrous alloy’s featured properties, such as:
- Tough enough to shape other materials
- Resists deformation & abrasion
- Holds its structure against high temperature treatment
- Extremely hard surface: no chipping, breaking, etc.
- Resists carbon reduction
- Great wear-and-tear strength
Industrial Applications for Tooling Needs
Tool steel plays a significant role in several major industries; all depending on the toughness and stability of the material. Consider choosing tool steel for your next big or small component project.
Applications include:
Plastic molding – production of plastic parts by injecting plastic into a mold cavity
Knife production – manufacturing different grades of knife blades based on cutting strength
Metal punching – stamping metal to produce different shapes for components
Vinyl extrusion – the manufacturing of vinyl for trim, windows, doors, etc.
The Quality Casting Advantage
Tool steel is one of the better choices for needed durability and hardness. Its main property handles heat, tampering, and movement extremely well; great for working with other materials. It’s also inexpensive, which is another major benefit.
