Tool steels comprise steel alloys featuring a unique blend of carbon and alloyed components. This category of steels finds application across a broad spectrum of products subject to mechanical material deformation. Depending on the intended use, tool steels can be classified as:
Cold work tool steels are used in manufacturing tools designed for the cold deformation of steel. Renowned for their high heat treatment potential and exceptional wear resistance, this steel category boasts intermediate values of toughness and stability throughout processing.
Hot work tool steels are utilized in crafting tools meant for steel deformation at elevated temperatures. Engineered to retain the tool's high hardness even under prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
Tool steels for plastic deformation exhibit resistance to high temperatures, pressure, and wear. They are specifically used in manufacturing molds for plastic injection molding.
High-speed tool steels are utilized in crafting cutting and drilling tools, including drills, milling cutters, knives, saws, and more. They are extensively used in the machine and wood processing industries.
The range of tool steels includes steel bars of circular and rectangular cross-sections.
Tool steels of circular cross-section are readily available in standard dimensions according to the table:
Diameter | Weight (kg/m1) | Diameter | Weight (kg/m1) | Diameter | Weight (kg/m1) |
Ø31 mm | 5.920 | Ø61 mm | 22.930 | Ø91 mm | 51.030 |
Ø41 mm | 10.360 | Ø71 mm | 31.060 | Ø102 mm | 64.110 |
Ø51 mm | 16.030 | Ø81 mm | 40.430 |
Tool steels of rectangular cross-section are readily available in standard dimensions according to the table:
Diameter | Weight (kg/m1) | Diameter | Weight (kg/m1) | Diameter | Weight (kg/m1) |
200×21 mm | 32.970 | 200×41 mm | 64.370 | 200×61 mm | 95.770 |
400×21 mm | 65.940 | 400×41 mm | 128.740 | 400×61 mm | 191.540 |
200×31 mm | 48.670 | 200×51 mm | 80.070 | ||
400×31 mm | 97.340 | 400×51 mm | 160.140 |
Upon customer request, non-standard dimensions can be supplied. For more information, please contact our sales department.

If you're uncertain about which quality is best suited for your project, feel free to reach out to our sales department. We'll provide tailored recommendations from our in-stock options or explore a comprehensive range of possibilities offered by our partners abroad.
The standard length of tool steel bars is 3000 mm.
However, our workshop is equipped with four modern saws capable of cutting these bars into blanks, significantly speeding up your production process.
If you need a length shorter than 3000 mm, no problem. Tool steel bars can be delivered in lengths below standard, down to the minimum lengths you require.
At our facility, we offer the convenience of delivery directly to your address. For more information on arranging transportation, please reach out to our sales department.
