App aids tool steel selection

Lindquist Steels has introduced a Tool Steel Selection Guide app for mobile devices. Its build function allows users to search several hundred common applications and choose the material that best fits their production needs.

Whether it be a forming die, a rifle barrel, or an injection mold cavity, once the user selects the application, the build function provides a variety of options in different steel grades from lowest to highest quality with its respective technical data sheet.

A single platform does product research, quoting, and ordering. The app is available for free download from the iTunes App store or the company's website.
