Latrobe Lescowear™ Cold Work Tool Steel
Categories: Metal; Ferrous Metal; Alloy Steel; Carbon Steel; High Carbon Steel; Tool Steel; Air-Hardening Steel; Cold Work Steel

Material Notes: Lescowear cold work tool steel is a versatile medium-chromium, air-hardening tool steel that is characterized by a very good combination of toughness and wear resistance. It is available primarily in round bar forms for cold work tooling applications which demand better toughness but comparable wear resistance compared to D2 cold work tool steel and M2 high speed steel. A similar grade which is available primarily in flat and sheet product forms is TLS™ PGK. Typical applications for Lescowear cold work tool steel include punches, blanking dies, thread roll dies, coining dies, drawing dies, upsetting dies, and rolls.
