A cold work tool which has an ingredient composition that can be prepared into a martensite structure by quenching and which has a martensite structure, wherein the hardness of the cold work tool is 58 HRC or more, the area ratio of a carbide having an equivalent circle diameter of 5 ?m or more in the cross-sectional structure of the cold work tool is 4.0% by area or more, and the carbon solid solution fraction, which is expressed by the ratio of the mass ratio of the amount of carbon that is present in the form of a solid solution in the structure of the cold work tool to the mass ratio of the amount of carbon that is contained in the whole of the cold work tool, is 75.0% or more. A method for manufacturing a cold work tool, which is suitable for manufacturing the aforementioned cold work tool.

Abstract: Provided are a cold working tool material with which high hardness can be obtained in a broad range of tempering temperatures, and a cold working tool manufacturing method using same. The present invention is a cold working tool material comprising a steel component composition that contains, in mass %, C: 0.65-2.40%, Cr: 5.0-15.0%, Mo and W alone or combined (Mo+½W): 0.50-4.00%, V: 0.10-1.50%, and N: greater than 0.0300% to 0.0800%, in which martensitic structure can be adjusted by quenching, and in which, in a 90 ?m long 90 ?m wide region of a cross-sectional structure that does not contain carbides with equivalent circle diameters exceeding 5.0 ?m, the number density of carbides A with equivalent circle diameters greater than 0.1 ?m to 2.0 ?m is at least 9.0×105/mm2 and the number density of carbides B with equivalent circle diameters greater than 0.1 ?m to 0.4 ?m is at least 7.5×105/mm2.

Abstract: Provided is a cold work tool material capable of reducing dimensional changes which occur, due to heat treatment, in the longitudinal direction of the material during quenching and tempering. This cold work tool material is drawn through hot working, has an annealed structure including carbides, and is used after being quenched and tempered, wherein, in the annealed structure which is formed in a cross section parallel to a drawing direction due to the hot working of the cold work tool material, the standard deviation in the degree of orientation of carbides Oc, as determined by equation (1) below, is 6.0 or more for carbides having a circle equivalent diameter of 5.0 ?m or greater as observed in the annealed structure in the cross section at right angle to a direction perpendicular to the drawing direction.
