Inox Steel India is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Tool Steel Bright Bars in grades D2 and H13, catering to high-precision tooling, die-making, and heavy industrial applications across India, GCC, Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
Our tool steel bright bars are engineered for environments where wear resistance, hardness stability, thermal strength, and dimensional accuracy are critical. Through advanced cold drawing, peel turning, polishing, and centerless grinding, we deliver bright bars with consistent metallurgy, tight tolerances, and superior surface finish, ready for demanding tool room and production use.
Tool Steel Bright Bars are cold-finished bars produced from premium alloyed tool steels, specifically designed to withstand high stress, abrasion, heat, and repeated impact during tooling and forming operations.
This controlled process ensures tool steel bright bars that provide predictable heat treatment response, long tool life, and reliable performance in production environments.
High carbon, high chromium cold-work tool steel offering exceptional wear resistance and edge retention. Widely used for blanking dies, punches, shear blades, and forming tools.
Chromium-molybdenum-vanadium hot-work tool steel known for excellent thermal shock resistance and toughness. Preferred for die-casting dies, extrusion tooling, and hot forging applications.
Both grades are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certification, ensuring material authenticity, consistency, and global compliance.
