tool steel round stock
This type of steels display excellent wear properties and good toughness which are suited for creating tools.
Its name derived from its use, tool steel is a carbon-alloy steel that possesses hTool Steelard properties obtained from heat-treated condition. It has a range of 0.5 to 1.5% of carbon and other various components such as molybdenum, tungsten, and chromium.
Because of its carbon component, it is best known for its properties such as hardness, ability to retain its shape in increased temperatures, resistance to abrasion, and wear-resistance allowing it to be widely utilized for cutting and machining of other types of metals like carbon steels, alloy steels, magnesium, and aluminum.
As such, a tool steel round bar stock is a necessity for industries manufacturing hand and machine tools.
With such a high demand for the excellent quality of a tool steel round bar stock or two, Forte Precision Metals steps up and volunteers its extensive supply and inventory of tool steels to industries that mainly manufacture tool steel products.
Accordingly, a tool steel round bar stock is primarily used in the materials that are applied in open die forgings which include discs & hubs, seamless rolled rings, shafts, blocks, flanges as well as other forged shapes that are machined to finished components.
Forte Precision Metals manufacture tool steels and tool steel forgings as well as other related products upon customer’s request. We expertly do so since we are not just an excellent tool steel round bar supplier but one that can also efficiently and expertly provide precision grinding services.
It is through our precision grinding services that we get to fulfill and meet corporate specifications which include custom lengths, odd sizes, or in precision or centerless ground bar forms.
Tool steels can be melted to various alloy specifications and may undergo various processes including hot and cold-rolling processes and turn your tool steels into a hot or cold finished bar.
Below are some of the manufactured parts using Tool Steels:
- machine tools
- trimmers & cutting tools
- tooling blocks
- dies and tools used for casting, molding, and stamping
- wear plates
- drill bits and end mills
- mining equipment parts
Tool Steel Bar Stock Applications
It is a very hard material that is used in the manufacturing of tools, dies, and other metalworking products. Tool steel bar stock is an essential component in these products because it provides strength to the finished product.
Tool steel bar stock applications are not limited to just tools and die. It can be found in many different industries, including agriculture, construction, and engineering. Tool steel round bar and round stock can be used in all of these industries and others like foundries and mining.
Tool steel bar stock has a variety of uses depending on the industry it’s being used for. The key factor that determines its use is what type of tool it will be making or what type of die it will be making.

Why Get Tool Steel Round Stock?
Tool steel is a general classification of steel alloys used to make tools. A tool steel round stock is designed to resist wear, abrasion and deformation in order to prolong the life of cutting tools. Tool steels can be classified into three general categories: high carbon tool steel, alloyed tool steel, and stainless tool steel.
Here are the reasons to get tool steel round bar;
Strong Material
Tool steel bar stock has many advantages over other types of materials. It has a higher hardness, wear resistance, and stronger than most other types of materials. Tool steel also has a higher corrosion resistance than most other types.
Lots of uses
Tool steel round bar has properties that are different from those of an ordinary round bar. It is tougher, more wear resistant and has better thermal conductivity. Tool steel round bar can be made into various types of tools, such as cutting tools and machine parts. Tool steel bars are also used to make drill bits, taps, milling cutters and other similar tools.
Lots of sizes
Tool steel is a material that is used to make tools. Tool steel round stock, in particular, is a type of tool steel that can be purchased in many different sizes. It is a type of tool steel, which is available in many grades, shapes, and sizes. It can be used for making dies, punches, shears, and other cutting tools.
Versatile
Tool steel round stock is one of the most versatile materials available on the market today. It can be used for many different purposes, including making tools and machining parts. The versatility and availability of this material makes it a must-have for any toolbox.

TOOL STEEL ROUND BAR GRADES
This type of steel grades are machined to various finishes to be used for a lot of applications like open die forgings.
Tool steel, when excellently machined, can be available in various tool steel grades to be critically picked and organized according to their suitable applications.
Each well-machined tool steel grade differs regarding their featured properties and strengths as well as for their combined element contents.
Depending on a client’s specifications, we can transform tool steel into appropriate precision or centerless ground bar forms.
Accordingly, they are most suited for die forging applications with the great toughness and hardness they have which allow them to be used mostly in machining and cutting other metals.
Please see our table of tool steel grades below:
| TOOL STEEL GRADES | DESCRIPTION | APPLICATION |
|---|---|---|
| A2 | medium air hardening tool steel; capable of deep hardening | slitters, die shapes, and similar applications |
| A10 | keeps distortion at minimum level upon hardening | thread rolling dies and intricate die shapes |
