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.
Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars find extensive use in die-casting, extrusion, and forging industries. They are perfect for creating hot-work tools like dies, punches, mandrels, extrusion tooling, and die-casting molds. Their resistance to heat checking and thermal fatigue guarantees a long tool life, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Furthermore, they are utilized in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications that demand durability under high stress and temperature. Semih Metals’ Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars deliver exceptional reliability, performance, and efficiency, making them the go-to choice for rigorous tooling and die-making tasks.
