Tool steels are primarily used to manufacture tools that can be used for machining metals, woods, and plastics. They are generally ingot-cast wrought products, and have the potential to be stable at elevated temperatures and withstand high specific loads.

The AISI grades of tool steels are the most common scale used to identify various grades of tool steel. The higher carbon grade tool steels are typically used for applications such as stamping dies, metal cutting tools, etc.

Carbon steels is a category of steel, which contains 0.12 to 2% carbon. This steel category gains hardness and strength with heat treatment when the percentage of carbon content increases but the ductility is reduced.

Alloy steel is often subdivided into low alloy steel and high alloy steels. Low alloy steels exhibit mechanical properties superior to plain carbon steels due to the addition of alloying elements such as molybdenum, nickel and chromium.

Stainless steels are called as high-alloy steels. Due to the presence of large amounts of chromium in the range of 4 to 30%, they have high corrosion resistance than other steels.

Magnesium alloys possess high strength, and are light weight. They have excellent vibration damping characteristics.

Tools steels are mainly used for manufacturing tools used in machining plastics, metals and woods. However, tool steels must be fabricated into the desired shape before they are able to be used.

Stainless steel grade 353MA is an alloy with higher nickel content than the other steels. Max service temperature in air for this alloy is 1150°C (2102°F); however service below 950°C (1742°F) may cause reduced room temperature impact toughness.

Alloy steel is steel alloyed with various elements in total amounts between 1 and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties including wear resistance, toughness, hardness and strength.
