Hot Die Steel H-13 is a highly durable tool steel widely used in hot-working applications that require exceptional thermal stability, strength, and wear resistance. Composed of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, H-13 steel is designed to withstand the extreme conditions typically encountered in die-casting, forging, extrusion, and molding processes. Its high thermal conductivity and resistance to thermal fatigue make it ideal for tools and dies subjected to frequent temperature cycling. H-13 steel maintains its toughness and hardness even at elevated temperatures, making it highly resistant to thermal shock and preventing cracking or deformation during rapid temperature changes. This steel also exhibits excellent machinability and can be heat-treated to achieve the desired hardness and strength, ensuring superior performance in demanding applications. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing rely on H-13 steel for producing reliable, long-lasting dies, molds, and tooling. Its ability to endure high stress, wear, and heat for extended periods makes it a preferred choice for high-performance tooling applications.
