A8 Mod steel is typically used in a variety of applications that require high wear resistance and toughness, including:

• Cutting tools: A8 is often used to make cutting tools, such as knives, blades, and punches, that are subjected to high wear and impact.
• Dies: A8 is well-suited for use in cold work dies, such as forming dies, trimming dies, and blanking dies, due to its high wear resistance and toughness.
• Shear blades: A8 is often used in the manufacture of shear blades, due to its high wear resistance and ability to maintain a sharp edge.
• Punches: A8 is commonly used in the production of punches, such as stamping punches and perforation punches, due to its high wear resistance and ability to withstand high impact.
