Product Description
Hot die steel refers to a type of tool steel specifically designed for use in high-temperature applications such as hot forging, extrusion, and die casting. These steels are engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses associated with such processes without losing their hardness or strength. Hot die steels typically have high levels of alloying elements like chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and tungsten, which contribute to their heat resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. Common grades of hot die steel include H13, H11, and H21, each with its own composition tailored to specific applications and working conditions. These steels are vital in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where precision and durability are crucial.
