CNC Machining with Tool Steel and Die Materials

In the demanding world of precision manufacturing, selecting the right material is as critical as the machining process itself. For components that must endure extreme stress, abrasion, and high temperatures, tool steels and die materials stand out as the premier choices. At our onestop foreign trade CNC machining company, we specialize in transforming these highperformance alloys into durable, reliable, and complex parts that drive industries forward.

Tool steels are a family of carbon and alloy steels characterized by their high hardness, wear resistance, and ability to hold a cutting edge. Common grades like D2 (excellent wear resistance), A2 (good toughness and dimensional stability), and H13 (for hightemperature applications) are staples in our production. Similarly, die materials, including P20 mold steel and various grades for stamping and extrusion dies, are engineered to withstand immense pressure and repetitive cycles.

However, the exceptional properties that make these materials desirable also present significant machining challenges. Their high hardness can lead to rapid tool wear, increased machining forces, and potential for work hardening. Successfully machining them requires a sophisticated approach that we have perfected:

Advanced CNC Technology: Our stateoftheart 3, 4, and 5axis CNC machines provide the rigidity, power, and precision necessary for stable cuts, minimizing vibration and deflection.
Expert Tooling Selection: We utilize premium carbide end mills and specialized tool geometries, often with coatings like TiAlN, to enhance tool life and performance when cutting hardened steels.
Optimized Machining Strategies: Techniques such as trochoidal milling (adaptive clearing) and highspeed machining are employed to manage cutting forces, dissipate heat effectively, and maintain superior surface finishes.

Strict Process Control: Every step, from heat treatment (prehardening or postmachining annealing) to meticulous quality checks, is controlled to ensure dimensional accuracy and material integrity.

The applications for CNC machined tool and die components are vast and critical. We produce:
Molds and Dies: For injection molding, die casting, and stamping.


Jigs and Fixtures: For precise positioning and repeatability in assembly lines.
Machine Components: Such as gears, shafts, and wear plates that operate under heavy load.
Cutting and Punching Tools: Custom tools for specialized manufacturing processes.
