H13 tool steel is the most popular steel grade for various Industries. The main features of high alloyed Cr-Mo-V Hot Work tool steel is high wear resistance to thermal shock and to heat cracking, good mechanical characteristics & toughness in hot condition.H13 appears excellent machinability with constant hardness during production activities.
The equivalent steel grade H-13 / SKD61 / AISI H13 normally available in the annealed condition but in some specific applications, we provide Pre-Hard H13 with its standard hardness 460-500 BHN. Utilized for ejector pins, apparatus holders and shrink fit chucks.
H13 Steel Properties:
High hot-wear resistance and hot tensile strength as well as good toughness, thermal conductivity and insusceptibility to hotcracking. Can be water-cooled to a limited extent.
Application:
Dies for Drop Forgings , Aluminum / low Pressure Die Casting, Extrusion, Containers & liner, Punches, Plugs, Holdez , Injection moulds Etc.
