Tool Steels are used in hot and cold shaping such as drilling, cutting, bending, injection, and extrusion of materials such as metals and plastics. Due to their areas of use, expectations from the mechanical properties of tool steels are different from other steels and more specific. They are expected to maintain their mechanical properties (rigidity, toughness, ductility, wear resistance etc.) when shaping challenging materials under high pressures, loads, and temperatures.
At Tiangong International, we manufacture hot work Tool steels, cold work Tool steels, plastic Mold Tool steels, and powder metallurgy steels for all applications. We use international standards in manufacturing and rank as #1 in terms of manufacturing capacity.

Steels
Steels manufactured with the powder metallurgy method have excellent toughness and wear resistance and all their mechanical properties are also homogeneous in all respects. Their measures change very slightly after thermal treatment. They are easy to machine. Steels manufactured with the 3rd-generation powder metallurgy method have a clean micro-structure free of non-metallic inclusions. They thus have high chipping and fracture resistance. Their wear resistance is also very high as they can reach very high toughness values. Powder metallurgy steels are the best choice to maximize tool performance in very special applications.
