H13 TOOL STEEL GRADE SHAPES, SIZES, AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION FROM TOOL STEEL SERVICE INC.

H13 Tool Steel is an air hardening, 5% chromium die steel which is an excellent choice for a wide range of hot work and cold work applications. It is widely used for aluminum, zinc, and magnesium die casting dies where resistance to thermal fatigue due to alternated heating and cooling cycles is of primary importance. The high vanadium content of H13 increases its resistance to wash caused by the erosive action of the die casting alloy, increase its resistance to heat checking and imparts superior properties at elevated temperatures. H13 also has excellent impact strength to resist cleavage cracking, is easy to machine, can be water cooled in service, and has excellent size change characteristics.

Other typical hot work uses are aluminum extrusions dies and backers, brass extrusion dummy blocks, shear knives, and forging applications. In foraging work, it is recommended for die blocks, inserts, punches, pierces, and heading dies.

H13 is finding increasing usage in cold work applications such as die cases for inserted cold heading dies and intermediate sendzimir rolls. It is often used as a cold work shock steel because of its excellent toughness.

General Characteristics of A36 Steel

Below are more of the characteristics of A36 steel that may help you in your purchase decision. Did you know that A36 is sometimes referred to as the “mild steel”?

General Characteristics
ASTM A36 Steel is the most generally used mild and hot-rolled steel. It is a low carbon steel that is characterized by good strength, formability, and excellent welding properties. It is an easy steel to machine, fabricate, and weld. A36 is suitable for grinding, tapping, drilling, punching, and machining processes. This steel can be galvanized to produce increased corrosion resistance. ATSM 36 steel is commonly available in the following forms: square bar, rectangle bar, circular rod, H-beams, and I-beams.

Typical applications of A36 Steel

Below are some of the most typical applications of A36 steel. As mentioned above, A36 is used more in constructing major structures such as bridges, tanks, and buildings.

Typical Applications
ASTM A36 is typically used in machinery parts, structural applications, buildings, bridges, automotive, railroad tracks, oil rigs, tanks, agricultural equipment, stakes, gears, forgings, base plates, and more.

Heat Treatment of A36 Steel (In Fahrenheit )

It is not advisable to heat treat A36 steel because it is low carbon, but there are other ways of treating A36 that won’t cause damage to the steel.
