DIN 1.2008 Cold Work Tool Steel is a low alloyed, high-carbon steel commonly used for manufacture of rasps, files and, more broadly all sharp tools requiring strength, reliability and hardness. It very high carbon content(1.3%) allows it to reach high harnesses, which are essential for this type of highly stressed tooling.

Dimensions
Round: dia.10-500 mm
Hot Rolled Flat: 6-200 x 300-1200 mm
Forged Block: 150-500 x 200-1600 mm
