 Generally the term Hot Work Steel includes tool steels which adopt a constant temperature about 200°C during application. Consequently, hot work applications involve the usual stresses which tool steels are subjected to, plus thermal stresses due to the contact between tools and hot materials during forming.

Bohler Steel
 Heat leaves us cold.
Only very special steels are suited to hot work applications. The particular properties of BÖHLER hot work tool steels are specifically trimmed to their use at high temperatures. The cleanliness of the steel is a deciding factor for a long tool life and for resistance to heat checking.
Typical applications for hot work tool steels are: pressure die casting, hot extrusion, open die forging, plastic processing and other hot applications.

ESR
 Electro Slag Remelted In Electro Slag Remelting the ingot is built up in a water cooled mould by melting a consumable electrode immersed in a superheated process slag. An electrical current flowing through the liquid slag, which provides the electrical resistance, generates the heat. As the slag temperature rises above the liquids temperature of the steel, the tip of the electrode melts. The reaction between slag and steel droplets results in a significant reduction in sulphur and non-metallic inclusions. The directional solidification of the ingot from bottom to top results in an ingot with a high homogeneity and freedom from macro - segregations. This gives uniform mechanical properties in the longitudinal and transverse directions after hot working. By utilizing homogenisation annealing of ingots, a high ingot break down and special heat treatment methods for structure refinement and strategy is fulfilled in optimising steel properties for an extended tool life.
