We offer tool steel that is highly suited for manufacturing tools with their distinctive hardness and other excellent features.
Tool Steel is a combined carbon and alloy steel to form tools. Known for having distinctive hardness, abrasion and deformation resistance, and the ability in holding a cutting edge at high level temperatures, tool steel is mainly used to cut and machine other metals like carbon steel, alloy steel, nickel, and aluminum.Applications of Tool Steel
Tool steel responds well to a heat treatment which enables varying hardness to meet different specific uses. Common applications that include the use of tool steel: draw & form dies, punches & dies, shear blades, thread & form rolls, shredder knives, mill roll & slitters, and cold heading dies.
Advance Grinding Services maintains its production of tool steel to meet the great demand of customers and deliver it the time they need it. We also do other machining operations to meet product specifications set by our target customers and industries we serve.

The Basics of Aluminum Alloy
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust after silicon and oxygen. It has a silvery-white appearance and contains a lot of valuable mechanical properties. It possesses 60% of the electrical conductivity of copper, with much lower density, making it a lightweight material perfect for aircraft and aerospace construction.
Pure aluminum is soft and ductile, but it can be strengthened when it is alloyed with other elements like magnesium, copper, and silicon. Such alloys possess better corrosion resisting properties, with a protective oxide coating that is achieved and enhanced through the process of anodization. Their lightweight and non-toxic mechanical properties enable them to be easily machined and cast. One good thing about aluminum is that it is recyclable, which can save considerable amounts of energy. They only need to undergo a melting process in order for them to be reused.
Powerful Properties
Aluminum alloys have low density, therefore, they are lightweight which is one of the key factors to consider in constructing an aircraft and its vital parts. Other important properties they possess are malleability, high strength, easy machining, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and excellent corrosion resistance.
Aluminum in the Aviation Industry
80 percent of commercial transport aircraft frames are made up of aluminum. This alloy is the top choice for the construction of aircraft and parts like wings and fuselage. Most navy aircraft are mainly made of fabricated aluminum. The focus on aluminum casting technology is continuing to earn recognition with its countless advantages in forming complex parts for aircraft structure. With a low manufacturing cost, Aluminum Alloy is the top choice for incorporating innovative and complicated design concepts in the aviation industry.
