Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars are made from chromium-molybdenum hot work tool steels, featuring around 0.4% carbon, 5.0% chromium, 1.3% molybdenum, and 1.0% vanadium. This unique alloy provides outstanding toughness, impressive wear resistance, and the capability to endure repeated thermal cycling without cracking. After heat treatment, H13 typically reaches hardness levels between 48-54 HRC and maintains excellent dimensional stability. Its blend of heat resistance and strength makes it perfect for tools that face high temperatures and impact.

When choosing Tool and Die Steel H13 bars, consider factors such as hardness, heat resistance, wear resistance, toughness, machinability, and the specific requirements of the application, including temperature and load conditions.
Tool and Die Steel H13 bars offer limited corrosion resistance due to their high alloy content, but they can still be susceptible to rusting in harsh environments. To improve corrosion resistance, they may require additional surface treatments like coating or regular maintenance to prevent degradation.
H13 Tool Steel Bars find extensive application in hot work tooling, including die casting dies, extrusion dies, forging dies, and hot shear blades. They are particularly popular in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery, where tools must withstand significant thermal and mechanical stresses. The steel’s superior resistance to thermal fatigue and cracking guarantees a long tool life and dependable performance in high-temperature scenarios. Its versatility and durability make H13 a preferred choice for challenging hot work environments.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
