H13 STEEL

VIRAT SPECIAL STEELS Pvt. Ltd. Introduce H-13 material & Modify H13 ( DIN 2344 / SKD61/ AISI H13) for the application of drop forgings, Extrusion, Pressure Die Casting etc. H13 steels belong to a family of Hot-Working Steels, a group of steel that is used to cut or shape material at high temperatures. These H-group tool steels were developed for strength and hardness during prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. These tool steels are low carbon and moderate alloy with significant carbide content resulting in good hot hardness and toughness, coupled with fair wear resistance. The main alloy constituents of H13 are Chromium (4.75 to 5.5%); Molybdenum (1.1 to 1.75%); Vanadium (0.8 to 1.2%); and nominal volume of Nickel (only 0.3%). While Molybdenum and Vanadium provide strength, the high Chromium content makes H13 resistant to softening when at high temperatures (red hardness). H-13 is also resilient in to shock and abrasion. It is capable of withstanding ra...
