Cold Work Steel

Cold work steel:
Cold work steel is Dye Steel (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5………. Etc.
Carbon = 2% + Vanadium, Tungsten, Nickle, Silicon……. High strength
Cold working (Room Temperature)

Hot work steel:
Hot worked steel is used to make hot working dies for receiving Malten metals for casting.
Hot worked steels series H1, H2, H5, H11, H13, H14 etc.
Carbon = 2%
Moly, Vanadium, Tungsten, Nickle, Silicon

Moly and Tungsten are High temperature.

Hot working (High temperature)

Note: (Greater the Number of alloying elements in steel with 2% carbon higher is the Hardening Temperature / Normalizing temperature).
