Tool Steel Rods & Discs

Available2 products

Tool steel is a carbon alloy that resists abrasion and wear and is especially hard. Tool steel rods and discs are ground to tight tolerances and maintain their shape and cutting edge at elevated temperatures. They are sometimes tempered to improve machinability and are available in different material grades for specific applications. Typical uses include cutting tools, hand tools, and injection molds.
