32S Cold work tool steel - Flats, Squares, Rounds

32S tool steel. This is an air hardening, cold work, tool steel. It is equivalent to DIN 1.2363. A chrome steel (5%) that offers high hardness after heat treatment and good dimensional stability. 32S tool steel has wear properties that fall between oil hardening Carbon Manganese steels like 09B and conventional high Carbon, high Chromium alloys such as D2.

32S steel offers good toughness combined with medium wear resistance and is relatively easy to machine. It is used in applications that require good wear resistance as well as good toughness.

32S equivalent grades: BS4659 - BA2, AISI - A2, DIN - 1.2363 - X100CrMoV5

Typical Applications for 32S: blanking tools and punches, forming and trim dies, gauges, shear blades and stamping dies. See our tool steel application chart

Our 32S tool steel squares and flats are cut from plate and we can supply to any dimensions you require.
