ISO 4957:2018 specifies requirements for wrought tool steels covering non-alloy cold-work tool steels, alloy cold-work tool steels, alloy hot-work tool steels, and high-speed tool steels. The standard applies to products such as hot-rolled, forged, cold-drawn, cold-rolled and powder-metallurgy products supplied in specified surface and heat-treatment conditions. ISO confirms the 2018 edition as the current edition, reviewed and confirmed in 2023. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of ISO 4957 Tool Steels, available in different grades, sizes, forms, surface conditions, and heat-treatment conditions. Products can be supplied with mill test certificates and strict quality inspection as per international standards.
