A8/1.2631 Cold Work Die Tool Steel
A8 steel is a type of tool steel that contains high levels of carbon and chromium. It is often used for applications that require high hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, such as in molds for plastic injection molding, die-casting, and forging. A8 steel is known for its excellent dimensional stability and ability to retain its cutting edge even under high stress and heavy use.
