What is a H13 tool steel?
H13 is a hot-work tool steel, meaning it holds its strength and hardness up to a higher working temperature than most tool steels. We are launching H13 Tool Steel to give people the ability to print high-strength, high-temperature parts.
What is the hardness of H13 steel?
5.1 Fabrication of Mold with SSCCC by Direct Metal Deposition (DMD)
| Material | Chemical composition (\%) | Rockwell hardness (HRC) |
|---|---|---|
| H13 tool steel | C–Mn–Si–Cr–Mo–V–Fe (0.35–0.4–1–5–1.5–1–Balance) | 45–50 |
| Mild steel (AISI 1029) | C–Mn–P–S 0.3–0.6–0.04–0.05 | 80 |
How do you temper H13?
Tempering: Temper immediately after quenching. The typical tempering range is 1000-1150°F (538-621°C). Hold at the tempering temperature for 1 hour per inch (25.4mm) of thickness, but for 2 hours minimum, then air cool to ambient temperature. Double tempering is required.
What is S7 tool steel?
AISI S7 is a shock resisting general purpose air-hardening tool steel. The shock absorbing properties provide excellent impact resistance and high strength and toughness. In addition, S-7 has good resistance to softening at moderately high temperatures. Excellent combination of high strength and toughness.
What is P20 tool steel?
P20 tool steels are nitrided or carburized. These steels are capable of being machined into complex and large dies and molds. P20 steels are mostly used in the carburized condition. The presence of chromium and nickel enhances the toughness and hardness of P20 steels.
How do you heat treat H13 steel?
Heat Treatment H13 tool steels are preheated to 816°C (1500°F). Then the steels are directly heated by increasing the temperature to 1010°C (1850°F) followed by holding for 15 to 40 mins.
Is S7 tool steel forged?
Supply Range of AISI S7 Tool Steel Surface Finish: Black, Rough Machined, Turned or as per given requirements. Process: Hot rolled, Forged, Cold drawn etc.
