H 13
Product Description
H13 is a popular tool steel alloy primarily used for hot work applications, particularly in die casting, forging, and extrusion processes. It is part of the chromium-based tool steels and is known for its high toughness, wear resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures. H13 steel is widely utilized in industries that involve high-speed operations or parts that are subjected to thermal stresses.

Characteristics
-
High-Temperature Strength : H13 is specifically designed to perform well at elevated temperatures. It maintains its hardness and toughness even at temperatures up to around 550°C (1022°F), making it suitable for hot work tools that operate in these conditions.
-
Toughness : H13 has excellent toughness, which allows it to absorb impacts without fracturing. This is important in applications such as die casting, where the tool is subjected to heavy loads.
-
Wear Resistance : Due to the presence of high chromium and molybdenum content, H13 offers good wear resistance. This is essential for tools that are exposed to repeated mechanical wear, especially in high-speed operations.
