tool steel 1.2714 for die casting tools, forming dies, die inserts, hot shear blades. Pressure casting dies and metal extrusion tools for processing light metal alloys,tools for the manufacture of hollows,tools for the screws manufacture,nuts,rivets and bolts

Quenching Process
Tempering Process
Forging
Annealing

Heat to 840-880°C, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 255. To secure uniform softness.

Applications:

A popular grade for toolmakers, D2 is used in a wide variety of tool making applications. Typical applications include blanking dies and punches for sheet in stainless steel, brass, copper, zinc and hard abrasive materials generally. Other application include deep drawing dies, cupping dies, forming dies, sheet metal forming rolls, shear blades for strip and sheet including flying shears, circular cutters for cold rolled strip, trimmer dies, thread rolling dies, cold extrusion dies, broaches, plug gauges, ring gauges, special taps, straybolt taps, brick and tile mould liners, master hobs for cold hobbing plastic moulds and cut moulds for plastics

Hardening

Harden from a temperature of 1000-1040°C followed by oil, warm bath (500-550°C, cooling bath or air. Hardness after quenching is 62-64 HRC.

Stress Relieving

Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to 650-700°C, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.

Tempering

Tempering temperature: 150-550°C.

H13 Tool Steel

H13 Tool Steel is a versatile chromium-molybdenum hot work steel that is widely used in hot work and cold work tooling applications. The hot hardness (hot strength) of H13 resists thermal fatigue cracking which occurs as a result of cyclic heating and cooling cycles in hot work tooling applications. Because of its excellent combination of high toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue cracking (also known as heat checking) H13 is used for more hot work tooling applications than any other tool steel.

Because of its high toughness and very good stability in heat treatment, H13 is also used in a variety of cold work tooling applications. In these applications, H13 provides better hardenability (through hardening in large section thicknesses) and better wear resistance than common alloy steels such as 4140.

Also available as Electro-Slag-Remelted (ESR) and Vacuum-Arc-Remelted (VAR) products as well. The remelting processes provide improved chemical homogeneity, refinement of carbide size, and the associated improvements in mechanical properties and fatigue properties.

APPLICATIONS: Inserts, cores, and cavities for die casting dies, die casting shot sleeves, hot forging dies, extrusion dies, and plastic mold cavities and components that require high toughness and excellent polishability.
