Sachin Steel Enterprises provides cold work steel services. Cold work steel is used in many cold-work components in vehicles such as aircraft, automobiles and ships, etc.

cold-work steel, also known as cold-work tool steel, is a type of tool steel specifically designed to be used in cold-working applications. Cold working refers to the deformation of a material at temperatures below its recrystallization point, often at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures. Cold work steel is employed in processes such as cutting, forming, and shaping metals and other materials without the need for high temperatures.

 

Here are some common uses of cold work steel:

- Cutting Tools: Cold work steel is frequently used to manufacture cutting tools such as knives, shears, and blades.

- Dies and Molds: Cold work steel is employed in the production of dies and molds used in metal forming and shaping processes.

- Punches and Stamps: Cold work steel is used in the fabrication of punches and stamps for punching, stamping, and blanking operations.

- Cold Extrusion Tools: In cold extrusion processes, where materials are shaped by compressive forces at room temperature, cold work steel is utilized for the dies and tools to ensure durability and dimensional accuracy.
