Product Name: Tool Steel Plate
Introduction
Tool Steel Plate is a high‑carbon, alloyed flat‑rolled steel product engineered for exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Through precise combinations of tungsten, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, and sometimes cobalt, followed by controlled heat‑treatment (quenching and tempering), tool steel plates deliver superior cutting performance, edge retention, and resistance to deformation under extreme service conditions. These plates are the foundation for dies, molds, cutting tools, and wear parts across manufacturing industries.

Features & Advantages
Exceptional Wear Resistance: High carbide content and alloy chemistry resist abrasive and adhesive wear for long tool life.
Superior Hardness & Strength: Through‑hardened microstructure maintains cutting edge under heavy loads.
Good Toughness: Grades like A2 and H13 balance hardness with resistance to chipping and thermal fatigue.
Thermal Stability: Hot‑work grades (e.g., H13) retain hardness and resist softening at elevated temperatures.
Precision Flatness: Final grinding processes ensure tight flatness and parallelism tolerances for die‑making and mold blocks.
Applications
Cutting & Forming Dies: Stamping, blanking, extrusion, and drawing dies in automotive and appliance manufacturing.
Molds & Tooling: Injection molds, blow‑molding molds, and die‑casting tooling for plastics and non‑ferrous metals.
Cutting Tools: Dies, punches, shear blades, and hot‑work tooling.
Wear Components: Guide plates, wear inserts, and bushings in high‑abrasion machinery.
Hot‑Work Applications: Dies and tooling for forging, extrusion, and hot stamping.
Packaging & Delivery
Packaging:
Plates wrapped in corrosion‑inhibiting paper or film; banded with steel straps.
Edges protected with plastic or steel angle guards; placed on treated wooden skids.
Crating available for overseas or long‑term storage.
Lead Time: Standard quench‑and‑temper production and shipment within 25–35 days after order confirmation; expedited processing (15–20 days) available for critical projects.
