ES Precision Metals is proud to offer a comprehensive range of Tool Steel grades tailored to meet the demands of various industries and applications. Our selection includes O1, A2, S7, D2, H13, W1, and M2 Tool Steels, each possessing unique properties and characteristics to suit specific needs.

O1 Tool Steel: Known for its excellent abrasion resistance and toughness, O1 is a popular choice for tool and die applications. It offers an optimal balance between hardness and machinability, making it ideal for intricate shapes and precision work. O1 is often used in gauges, cutting tools, and stamping dies.

A2 Tool Steel: A2 is prized for its remarkable dimensional stability and high wear resistance. It’s an air-hardening steel that provides excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for punches, dies, and other applications where resistance to abrasive wear is required. A2’s balance of toughness and wear resistance makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of tooling applications.

S7 Tool Steel: S7 stands out for its exceptional impact resistance, making it the go-to choice for tools subject to severe shock and impact loads, such as chisels, hammers, and other impact tools. Its unique combination of toughness, high strength, and resistance to softening at high temperatures ensures durability and long-lasting performance.

D2 Tool Steel: D2 is renowned for its high carbon and chromium content, which gives it extraordinary wear resistance and hardness. This air-hardening tool steel is used in applications requiring minimal distortion during hardening, such as long-run dies, cold work tools, and high-wear machine parts.

H13 Tool Steel: H13 is a hot work tool steel known for its incredible resistance to thermal fatigue cracking, making it ideal for die casting dies, forging dies, and extrusion tooling. Its ability to withstand high temperatures without losing hardness ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.

W1 Tool Steel: W1 is a water-hardening tool steel known for its high hardness and excellent toughness when properly tempered. It’s particularly suitable for fine-edge tools like drills, taps, reamers, and engraving tools, where a sharp edge and detailed finish are crucial.

M2 Tool Steel: M2 is a high-speed steel celebrated for its superior red-hardness, allowing it to maintain cutting edges at temperatures up to 650°C. This makes M2 an excellent choice for high-speed applications, including drill bits, milling cutters, and reamers, where high performance and durability are essential.
