AISI H13

This is a chromium hot work tool steel, which is widely used in tooling applications as it is characterised by high level of toughness and ductility. Uniform and high levels of machinability and polishability make H13 a viable choice, especially for the aluminium and die casting and plastic mould industry where this is required. Excellent through hardness properties and limited distortion during hardening allow the end product to have a better quality giving a longer die life. Molybdenum & Vanadium act as strengthening agents and Chromium provides high temperature strength, high temperature toughness and high temperature wear resistance.

 

In 2013 MUSCO worked hand in hand relentlessly for 2 years to develop a very special product. AISI H13 – EFS. This resulted in giving our existing customers a higher die life , equal or better than that of imported steels from reputed mills in Europe.

H13 Tool Steel

H13 tool steel is a versatile chromium-molybdenum hot work steel that’s wide utilized in hot work and cold work tooling applications. The recent hardness (hot strength) of H13 resists thermal fatigue cracking that happens as the results of cyclic heating and cooling cycles in hot work tooling applications. Due to its wonderful combination of high toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue cracking (also called heat checking) H13 is used for additional hot work tooling applications than the other tool steel.

Because of its high toughness and really sensible stability in heat treatment, H13 Tool Steel is additionally utilized in a spread of cold work tooling applications. In these applications, H13 provides higher hardenability (through hardening in giant section thicknesses) and higher wear resistance than common alloy steels like 4140.

APPLICATIONS: – Inserts, cores, and cavities for die casting dies, die casting shot sleeves, hot forging dies, extrusion dies, and plastic mold cavities and parts that need high toughness and wonderful polishability.
