General Characteristics
|
Designed to retain hardness at elevated temperatures and withstand the effects of alternate heating and cooling, H13 is used extensively in aluminum extrusion, aluminum die casting and forging die applications. Its exceptional toughness and inherent resiliency have also made this a popular material for die casing in the cold heading field. H13 is recommended in a wide range of hot work applications.
|
Typical Applications
|
Die casting, die inserts, core pins, bolsters, ejector pins, mandrels
