Steel Properties : High hot-wear resistance, high hot tensile strength and toughness. Good thermal conductivity and insusceptibility to hot cracking. Can be water-cooled to a limited extent.
Applications : Hot-work tool steel for universal use. Pressure casting dies and metal extrusion tools for processing light metals, forging dies, moulds, screws and barrels for plastic processing, nitrided ejectors, hot-shear blades. Suitable for Aluminium Extrusion Die & Aluminium Copper Forging Dies.
H13 has high hard resistance and hardness.
Suitable for Aluminium Extrusion Die, and Aluminium Copper forging Die.
