Ganpat Metal manufactures and supplies High-Performance Tool Steel Round Bars in AISI D2 (Cold Work Die Steel), AISI H13 (Hot Work Die Steel), and EN31 / 100Cr6 / 52100 (High-Carbon Bearing Steel) conforming to ASTM A681, DIN 17350, and BS 970 standards. These specialty tool steels are engineered for applications demanding extreme surface hardness, compressive strength, abrasion resistance, and high-temperature thermal fatigue toughness.
AISI D2 features 12% chromium and high carbon, providing unmatched wear resistance for blanking dies, shear blades, and thread-rolling rolls. AISI H13 contains 5% chromium with molybdenum and vanadium, offering superior thermal shock resistance for die casting dies and hot forging punches. EN31 provides high surface hardness up to 64 HRC and rolling contact fatigue resistance for bearings, guide pins, and precision rollers.
Our tool steel round bars are supplied in spheroidized annealed condition (ready for precision machining and subsequent heat treatment) with guaranteed ultrasonic sound integrity.
GM handles enquiries for Tool Steel Round Bars where buyers need to match round bar diameters, machining tolerances (h9, h11, k12), and material grade to engineering drawings or purchase specifications. The supplied range covers precision cold drawn, peeled, centerless ground, and forged round bars beginning from 3 mm up to 500 mm diameter, with cut-to-size billet and pre-machined options.
Grade selection should be based on the required mechanical properties, core hardness, chemical composition, and operating temperature conditions of the application. Buyers should also confirm the applicable standard specification (ASTM / ASME / DIN / EN), delivery condition (annealed, solution treated, or quenched & tempered), NDT testing (ultrasonic / PMI), and mill documentation before finalizing an order.
