H13 Steel Characteristics
H13 mold steel is a widely used and representative hot work mold steel, which is valued for its excellent performance and multiple uses. This steel contains a high content of carbon and vanadium, with high hardenability and resistance to hot cracking, good wear resistance, and relatively weakened toughness. At higher operating temperatures, it can still maintain good strength and hardness.
H13 mold steel has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and high tempering stability. In addition, it also has good heat resistance, allowing it to maintain excellent performance in high-temperature environments. Due to its low carbon content, its secondary hardening ability during the tempering process is slightly lacking. However, by using carburizing or nitriding processes, its surface hardness can be effectively improved.
It is worth noting that although H13 mold steel undergoes heat treatment during the manufacturing process, this does not result in excessively high deformation rates. In fact, the deformation after heat treatment is quite small. In addition, H13 mold steel also has good machinability and moderate decarburization resistance.
