AISI H13
This is a chromium hot work tool steel, widely used in hot froging applications as it is characterised by high level of toughness and ductility. Uniform and high levels of machinability and polishability make H13 a viable choice for aluminium extrusion and die casting applications. Excellent through hardness properties and limited distortion during hardening result in longer die life of the end product. Molybdenum & Vanadium act as strengthening agents and Chromium provides strength, toughness and wear resistance at high temperatures.
GA & Co. and MUSCO (now Sanyo Special Steel India) worked hand in hand for 2 years to develop a very special product. This resulted in AISI H13 – EFS. This resulted in giving our existing customers a higher die life, equal or better than that of imported steels from reputed mills in Europe
