All applications include high mechanical forces and sliding contact between the tool surface and the work material. There are high demands on tool hardness to give wear resistance and resistance to plastic deformation. In order to improve the wear resistance further some of the cold work steel grades are highly alloyed giving hard particles (carbides) in the matrix. The combination of high hardness and hard carbides is however also impairing the machinability.

Modern industrial production, in particular mass production, machining is one of the most important shaping and forming processes. Almost all tools employed for this purpose are made from high speed steels. In recent times, the use of high speed steels has gained increasing importance for chipless shaping, e.g. for extrusion, blanking and punching tools. With regard to chemical composition, a clear distinction is made between 'Tungsten', 'Molybdenum' and 'Tungsten-Molybdenum' alloyed high speed steel grades which, depending on the dominant stresses they will be exposed to, contain differing amounts of Carbon, Vanadium and Cobalt. The characteristic properties of all high speed steel grades include:

Hot work tools operate at elevated temperatures and form different products in aluminium, steel or other metals.

The most common application areas in hot work are die-casting, extrusion and forging. The high working temperatures put very high demands on the tool steel. The properties' profile of material used for hot work should include an excellent hot strength as well as a very good ductility and toughness.

Other important tool steel properties are a high resistance against thermal cyclic stresses and a good hot wear resistance. The properties profile should be even in all directions in the tool steel for best performance.

When a new moulded part is to be produced many important decisions have to be made in order to fulfill all requirements set. Decisions will depend on plastic material, production method, multi or single cavity, number of parts to be produced, tolerance and surface finish.
