A heat treatable, temper resistant, chromium-containing, carbidic tool steel having a total carbon content of at least about 6 percent by weight is provided comprising about 25 to 75 percent by volume of primary carbide grains of essentially titanium carbide distributed through a heat treatable steel matrix containing by weight about 6 to 12% chromium, about 0.6 to 1.2% carbon, about 0.5 to 5% molybdenum, 0 to 5% tungsten, the total tungsten and molybdenum content not exceeding about 5%, 0 to 2% vanadium, 0 to 3% nickel, 0 to 5% cobalt, 0 to 1.5% silicon, 0 to 2% manganese and the balance essentially iron, the ratio by weight of chromium to carbon in the steel matrix ranging from about 7:1 to 25:1, the steel matrix surrounding the primary carbide grains being characterized by a microstructure comprising an austenitic decomposition product.
