Tool steel
Our tool steel is used for the production of tools, molds and standard parts, for example in the areas of aluminum die casting or plastic injection molding.
Schmiedewerke Gröditz is an integrated steel plant operating two powerful open-die forging presses (24 MN and 60 MN) and three advanced ESU facilities. We primarily supply global stockholding distributors, supported by our dedicated service centers located in Burg (Germany, GWB) and Istanbul (Turkey, GCE).
Our product range focuses on high-quality plastic mould steels, die steels, hot-work steels for die casting, and stainless steels, available in annealed or heat-treated condition. We offer both conventionally produced and ESR-remelted grades.
Gröditz specializes in large-scale forgings, including die holders, mould frames, and tooling materials for giga-casting applications. Flat materials are available starting from 250 mm thickness, and round materials from 300 mm diameter.
