A flexible air-hardening tool steel with an excellent balance of toughness and wear resistance, Whitebear cold work tool steel belongs to the 8% chromium family. Compared to the majority of other cold work tool steels in the 8% chromium family, it has a lower carbon and total alloy content, which improves the steel's impact toughness at the expense of some wear resistance.

Punches, blanking dies, thread roll dies, coining dies, drawing dies, upsetting dies, and rolls are common uses for Whitebear cold work tool steel.
