Forged Steel Block ESR H13/1.2344/SKD61 Hot Work Die & Thin wall Plastics Mold
Product Introduction
H13 tool steel is air-hardening, hot work 5% chrome tool steel. It combines excellent shock and abrasion resistance with good red hardness making it ideal for use in die casting. Most commonly used in plastic molds and die casting, its ability to withstand rapid cooling from high working temperatures also make it a prime choice for use in extrusion dies. While designed to be a versatile hot work grade, H13 tool steel has been useful in cold work applications as well, particularly when extra toughness is desired but wear resistance is not important. Other applications include: trimming dies, extrusion dies, forging dies, die casting, forming punches, hot shear blades and mold dies. Common trade names include Dievac, Viscount, Thyrotherm 2344, Cromo-High V, Firechrome 44, Hotform V, VAD13, Potomac M, Thermold H 13, VDC, Hot Form V, Dica B Vanadium, Nu-Die V, Firedie 13, 883. H13 plates and flats are supplied in a decarb free and annealed condition.
2344 classified as a hot work steel in the class of Cr-Mo-V. It is
widespread used in various industry.Suitable for hot work mold in
every categoris, steel, plastic, glass. Moreover, it also well
known for making of cutting tool for thicker gauge steel. To be
part of mold and tooling. Thanks to its suitable chemical
composition from 0.4 carbon which help enhance strength whilst
hardening at high temperature. Content of Chromium 5 % benefit in
standing for high temperature during work. Also, hardening with air
is possible and give good deed for maintaining it's size/dimension
tolerance. Silicon 1.0% help resistance of oxide at high temp.
Molybdinum and vanadium help maintain its strength at high temp.
Specially on Vanadium result in high abrasive resistance. With our
special production blend, the grain size is so small that the
structure is homogenize with precision, this help benefit in high
strength and tensile
during its work load.
Features
• Resistance for changing of temperature during usage
• maintain its strength among differ temperature.
• Resistance to fatigue due to high temperature
• High strength
• Resistance to wear and tear
• Easy to hardening , less in changing of its size/ dimension
• High properties of heat transferring
• Resistance on sharp turning of temperature.
• Can do direct cooling by water
• Can do nitriding to enhance surface hardness
