| WHAT THEY ARE | They are special alloys designed to maintain high hardness, mechanical strength, and toughness at high temperatures (450–600°C), resisting thermal fatigue, thermal shock, and wear. They are ideal for die-casting molds, hot punches and dies, rolling mill cylinders, hot shear blades, extrusion, and forging, thanks to alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten. Available via the following processes: Conventional or Remelting (ESR – VAR) |

| WHAT THEY ARE | They are high-alloy special steels designed for molds and tools that typically operate in environments with temperatures up to 200°C. They offer high hardness (52–63 HRC), excellent resistance to abrasive wear, good toughness, and compressive strength, making them ideal for blanking, molding, coining, drawing, and bending. Due to their high carbon content and alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, they are highly effective in the production of punches, woodworking tools, drawing dies, machine tool collets, and pneumatic tools. |

| WHAT THEY ARE | High-speed steels (known as High-Speed Steel or HSS) are a category of high-alloy tool steels containing elements such as tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V) and, in some cases, cobalt (Co) up to 8%. They are designed for heavy-duty machining at high speeds; they are distinguished by their ability to balance hardness, toughness, and heat resistance. Ideal for creating cutting tools such as milling cutters, twist drills, knives, taps, broaches, and high-performance ceramic molds. |
