IMI Special Steels & Alloys offers a range of Die Steel, Tool Steel and Alloy Steel grades designed to meet the requirements of diverse industrial and tooling applications. Our product range includes A2 / 1.4021, S7 / 1.2356 / X153CrMoV12, P20 – 1.2316 / 1.2311 / 1.2739 / 1.2085, D2 / 1.2379, D3 / 1.2080, H13 / 1.2344, H11 / 1.2343 and OHNS / 01 / 1.2510 / X 210 CrW 12.

Die steels are selected for applications where high wear resistance, dimensional stability and hot hardness are required. These characteristics are particularly important in tooling environments where materials are subjected to repeated mechanical forces and demanding working conditions. A suitable die steel can provide the required combination of hardness and dimensional stability, helping tooling components maintain their functional characteristics during service.

Tool steels are widely associated with applications where hardness, wear resistance and toughness are key material requirements. The balance between these characteristics allows tool steel grades to be used across a broad range of tooling and engineering requirements. Depending on the grade and application, the material can be selected to provide the desired level of hardness and resistance to wear while also offering the toughness required for the operating conditions.

Alloy steels provide another important material option for industrial applications where toughness and corrosion resistance are required. The combination of these characteristics makes alloy steel suitable for applications where the material must withstand demanding service conditions. IMI Special Steels & Alloys provides different grades within its Die, Tool & Alloy Steel range to support varied industrial and engineering requirements.

By offering multiple grades and specifications, IMI Special Steels & Alloys can support different material selection needs across industrial applications.

One of the important advantages of Die and Tool Steel is its ability to provide high wear resistance. Tooling components can experience continuous contact, friction and mechanical loading during operation, which can result in gradual wear. Materials with good wear resistance can help maintain tool performance for longer periods and support consistent operation in demanding industrial environments.

Dimensional stability is another important characteristic associated with die steels. Maintaining the required dimensions of a tooling component is essential for achieving consistent results in manufacturing and forming operations. A material with good dimensional stability can help tooling retain its intended geometry during service, supporting accuracy and repeatability.

Hot hardness is also an important consideration for die steel applications where tooling may be exposed to elevated temperatures. The ability to maintain hardness under demanding thermal conditions can support reliable tooling performance. This characteristic is particularly relevant when selecting materials for applications where both mechanical loads and heat can influence tool performance.

Tool steels combine hardness, wear resistance and toughness to address the varied requirements of industrial tooling. Hardness contributes to resistance against deformation, wear resistance supports longer service performance, and toughness helps the material withstand mechanical stresses. The required balance of these properties depends on the application and the operating conditions of the finished tool or component.

Alloy steels within our range are associated with toughness and corrosion resistance. These characteristics can be important in applications where materials are exposed to demanding mechanical conditions or environments where resistance to corrosion is required. Selecting the appropriate alloy steel grade according to the intended application can help provide the required material performance.
