Tool steel is a carbon and alloy steel that has ideal characteristics including high hardness, abrasion resistance, a good ability to retain its shape, even in higher temperatures.
Tool steel is commonly used in injection molding where resistance to abrasion is an important criterion. Its toughness also gives it non-deforming properties, allowing it to hold a cutting edge at various temperatures. Depending on the grade of tool steel it is also a popular choice for the manufacture of hand tools, cutting tools, and more.

Tool steel is generally used in a heat-treated state. Many high carbon tool steels are also more resistant to corrosion due to their higher ratios of elements such as vanadium and niobium. Because of this, tool steel is often used for high-strength or wear-resistant applications.
Tool steel grades are made specifically for different applications so it's good practice when selecting a grade to ask yourself a few questions first. For example:
• Is a keen cutting edge necessary, as in stamping dies?
• Must it withstand impact loading and service conditions encountered with hand tools such as axes, pickaxes, and quarrying implements?
• What is the expected edge temperature for use?
Edge temperature under expected use is an important factor of both composition and required heat treatment. Higher carbon grades are typically used for such applications as stamping dies, metal cutting tools, etc.
