What is H13 Tool Steel Round Bar?
H13 tool steel round bar is a premium air-hardening alloy widely used in the
tool and die industry. Known for its toughness, wear resistance, and ability
to perform under extreme heat, H13 is one of the most versatile and reliable
hot-work tool steels available.
Key Properties of H13 Tool Steel
-
High-Temperature Performance: Maintains strength and shape
under high thermal and mechanical stress. -
Wear Resistance: Withstands repeated impact and abrasion in
demanding applications. -
Toughness and Hardness: Delivers long-lasting performance
with reduced risk of cracking or distortion. -
Good Machinability: Easier to machine and fabricate
compared to other hot-work tool steels.
Chemical Composition
H13 tool steel is composed of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. This
combination provides high toughness, excellent heat resistance, and superior
durability for toolmaking and manufacturing.
Common Applications of H13 Tool Steel
- Forging dies and extrusion dies
- Hot stamping and pressure die casting tools
- Cutting tools and punches
