Tool Steel Powder

Tool steel can be divided into three broad categories: cold work tool steel, hot work tool steel, and high-speed tool steel. Its common grades include H13, M2, M3, M4, S2, D2, M35, M42, T15, P21, P23, PW01 etc.

Tool steel powders are known for making some tools, molds, and dies with excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness, and wear resistance to abrasive particles. Tool steels can be carefully alloyed to have specific mechanical properties which is differs from regular stainless steel.

Additive manufacturing tool steel, known as the third industrial revolution in the mold industry, which makes the design of mold products towards customization and complexity, is used by many industries, such as diiging and cutting tools of mining, construction equipment, surgical instruments and medical devices, and turbine blades of aerospace.

Truer tool steel powders for additive manufaturing are produced by vacuum gas atomizing or PREP process, which have uniform chemical composition, low inclusions, and different particle size available. Our particlesize range normally can be 5-200um, including common range 0-45um, 15-53um, 20-65um, 53-106um and 53-150um. Finer particle size range (smaller than 25um) and coarser range (larger than 200um) also can be provided per customer specification.

Welcome to inquire about prices and technical specifications (including powder morphology and particle size etc.).
