Tool Steels/Cold Work Steels

Hardness alone is not enough!

BÖHLER cold work tool steels are used for cutting and pressing tools, for dies and knives, for stamping and drawing tools, hobs, thread rolling tools and in many other applications due to their typical properties – high hardness, good toughness and compressive strength and high wear resistance. High availability, cost efficiency and a long tool life are the most important factors in choosing a material.

Factors which BÖHLER is always working to improve.

FOR NEWS
A lot of money is made with coining dies made from BÖHLER cold work tool steel. The EURO, for example. Not just the Austrian mint, many other international mints are extremely discerning and often choose BÖHLER.
