1.2343, AISI H11, 1.2344, AISI H13 - specification and application
Alloy tool steel for hot working for moulds for die casting of aluminium alloys, magnet, zinc, pressing pipes, copper alloy bars and light metals under pressure.
It is characterized by very high hardenability, resistance to tempering, possibility of working at high temperatures and low susceptibility to forming a surface crack net.
Disadvantages of the grade are low sensitivity to rapid temperature fluctuations during operation, low impact and shock resistance. Before use the tools must be warmed to a minimum temperature of 200 C, but must not exceed the tempering temperature.
It is used for the production of hot working knives, die inserts for presses and forging machines, screws, dies, moulds for plastics, stamps, mandrels, punches, copper rolling mills.
The steel is also available after ESR electroslag melting, which guarantees high purity - recommended for moulds for casting non-ferrous metal alloys under pressure, and ESF which guarantees fine-grainability.
