Economic Steel with Good Toughness and Low Distortion
Kunshan Guanghouhong was renamed from Kunshan Guanghouhong Steel Co., Ltd. in March 2025. We expanded our services to focus on mold material R&D, processing, and sales.
SKS3 Cold Work Die Steel is one of the low-alloy tool steels we process. This material contains about 0.95% carbon, about 0.5% chromium, and about 0.5% tungsten.
It offers good toughness and low quenching distortion. It provides good machinability. Its wear resistance is moderate. It provides a cost-effective solution for practical applications.
We test hardness and dimensional accuracy for every batch. This ensures that all products meet our quality standards.

Suitable for Woodworking Tools and Small Dies
SKS3 Cold Work Die Steel is suitable for woodworking tools, shears, small cold stamping dies, plastic trimming knives, and wear-resistant fixtures.
If you need an economical mold material, this grade meets practical application requirements.
For heat treatment, we recommend oil quenching at 800°C to 830°C. Hardness after quenching reaches 60 to 63HRC.
We support custom orders based on technical drawings. We can adjust size and hardness according to your needs.
We provide rough material, precision plates, and flat plates in various processed conditions.

Flexible Ordering and Small Batch Support
Our factory covers about 3,000 square meters. We have an experienced production team of 10 employees. We support OEM and ODM services.
We can adjust steel grade, hardness, and size specifications according to your requirements. We allow mixed loading of different grades and sizes in one order.
Cutting and logistics costs are adjusted based on order details. We accept small trial orders without strict MOQ requirements. Pricing depends on order weight and processing requirements.
This allows you to evaluate our materials with lower initial risk.
