A11 tool steel is commonly used in a variety of applications due to its combination of wear resistance, toughness, and high hardenability. Some of the typical applications of A11 include:

• Cold and hot forming: A11 is used in the manufacture of cold and hot forming tools, such as dies, punches, and mandrels, due to its high hardenability and ability to maintain its hardness and wear resistance at high temperatures.
• Blanking and punching: A11 is commonly used for blanking and punching tools, such as those used in the production of sheets, plates, and structural shapes, due to its ability to withstand high stress and strain.
• Coining and extrusion: A11 is used in the manufacture of coining and extrusion dies, as well as in the production of seamless tubes and pipes, due to its ability to withstand high loads and pressures.
• Shear blades: A11 is used in the manufacture of shear blades, as it provides good toughness and wear resistance, and is able to maintain its hardness and wear resistance at high temperatures.
• Dies for wire drawing and cold heading: A11 is used in the manufacture of dies for wire drawing and cold heading, as it provides good wear resistance, high hardenability, and good toughness, making it ideal for use in these applications.
