Tool steels

For complex material requirements

Whether as forging die, tool holder or industrial knife, as extrusion die or plastic or glass mould, as ejector pin or saw blade - the list of applications for modern tool steels is long. The requirement profile of modern tool steels is just as diverse.
BGH grades combine properties such as wear resistance, mirror polishability, resistance to heat and thermal shock, and of course strength and toughness to suit your particular application.
Through optimised metallurgy, we achieve the best degrees of purity and homogeneous microstructures, which are decisive for a long service life of your tools.

Materials and areas of application

Hot working tool steels are used in applications where tools and components must function reliably at high temperatures, offering high hot strength, toughness, and wear resistance. Find the right grades and supply forms for your metal forming, die-casting and toolmaking applications.
