Toolman Special Steels at IMRC 2026: Advancing Sustainable Tool Steel Through Recycling & Performance
Toolman Special Steels at a previous industry exhibition
Toolman Special Steels, a leading manufacturer and processor of high-performance tool steels, will exhibit at IMRC 2026 to showcase H13, H11, HSS grades and to procure imported tool steel scrap such as H13, M2, M35 and P91 in solids and turnings for sustainable steel production.
In fact, a world where sustainability is no longer a choice but a responsibility, the materials industry is undergoing a fundamental shift. Steel manufacturers today are not only expected to deliver performance – they are also expected to do it responsibly.
At the intersection of these two demands lies innovation and that’s exactly what Toolman Special Steels will be showcasing at the International Material Recycling Conference (IMRC) 2026.
Toolman Special Steels is proud to announce its participation as an exhibitor at IMRC 2026, scheduled to take place from 20th to 22nd January 2026 at the Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre.
You can find us at Stall No. 110, where we will be highlighting our expertise in high-performance tool steels and our commitment to recycling-driven manufacturing.
Why IMRC 2026 Matters
IMRC is a global meeting ground for recyclers, processors, manufacturers and material innovators who are shaping the future of sustainable production. For Toolman, this platform aligns perfectly with our long-term vision: transforming high-quality scrap into performance-grade tool steels that meet the rigorous demands of modern tooling industries.
At IMRC 2026, our focus will be on engaging with global scrap suppliers, recyclers and industry stakeholders to source premium imported tool steel scrap and convert it into steels engineered for precision, durability and reliability.
Highlights from our earlier exhibition participation
What Toolman Will Be Showcasing
Visitors to our stall will be able to explore a wide portfolio of steels that reflect both technical excellence and sustainable thinking.
Hot Work Die Steels
- H13
- H13 ESR
These grades are widely used for extrusion tooling and hot work dies, where resistance to thermal fatigue, heat checking and mechanical stress is critical.
Die Block Steels
- DB-6 / DIN 1.2714
Known for their exceptional toughness and deep hardenability, these steels are commonly used for heavy-duty forging and die block applications.
High-Speed Steels (HSS)
- M2
- M35
- M42
- T1 and related grades
These steels are engineered for cutting, machining and wear-resistant tooling, offering high red hardness and edge retention at elevated temperatures.
Stainless Steel Grades
Toolman will also present a range of stainless steels suited for corrosion-resistant applications across multiple industries.
Powder Metallurgy Steels
For applications demanding ultra-fine microstructures and superior wear performance, our PM steels will be a key highlight.
Focus on Imported Scrap Procurement & Sustainable Steel Production
In line with IMRC’s core theme of recycling and sustainability, Toolman Special Steels will also be actively engaging with international scrap suppliers and traders to strengthen its sourcing of high-quality imported scrap for steel production.
Imported Scrap Grades of Interest:
- H13 Tool Steel Scrap – solids & turnings
- High Speed Steel ScrapM2, M35, M42 – solids & turnings
- Alloy Steel Scrap P91 – solids & turnings
Our Key Focus Areas Include:
As an experienced DIN 2714 manufacturer, Toolman delivers:
- Procurement of imported tool steel and alloy steel scrap We are actively looking to source premium-grade scrap in H13, HSS (M2, M35, T1, T42), die steels, stainless steels and PM-grade materials.
- High-performance H13 / H13 ESR steels for extrusion dies We will be highlighting our expertise in producing H13 and H13 ESR grades specifically engineered for high-stress extrusion die applications, where thermal fatigue resistance and toughness are critical.
- Conversion of high-quality scrap into performance-grade tool steels Through controlled metallurgy and precise processing, we transform recycled input into steels that meet international tooling standards.
- Strengthening global sourcing partnerships We aim to collaborate with scrap suppliers and processors who share our commitment to quality, consistency and sustainability.
Our steel is trusted by forging companies in automotive, railway, construction hardware, oil & gas and aerospace tooling sectors.
Sustainability Meets Performance
One of the most exciting aspects of Toolman’s participation at IMRC 2026 is our focus on recycling-driven steel production.
With in-house capabilities across:
- Melting
- Refining
- ESR (for select grades)
- Forging
- Finishing
- we ensure that recycled materials are not downgraded, but instead upcycled into high-value tool steels used in demanding applications.
This approach allows us to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the high mechanical, thermal and metallurgical standards that tooling industries require.
We look forward to connecting with professionals across the materials and tooling ecosystem, including:
- Tool & die manufacturers
- Extrusion die makers
- Metal recyclers
- Scrap processors
- Global sourcing partners
