HDS H11 Tool Steel is an all-purpose hot work tool steel with high stiffness and endurance. Good thermal conductivity, resistance to heat cracking, and water cooling to a limited extent. Ejector pins, equipment holders, and shrink-fit chucks are examples of applications. Hot work tool steel containing 5% chromium has excellent strength and toughness, is the best thermal physical phenomenon, and is prone to hot cracking. This ensures lengthy tool life in die-casting, press forging, extrusion, and other processes. Stock Availability of Tool Steel HDS H11: Tool Steel HDS H11 materials are normally available in the various forms of HDS Round, HDS Square and HDS Flat. Commercially available HDS materials are H11 Grade only. HDS H13 Grades are supplied against specific orders. We supply these materials as per our Customer’s cutting Requirement. Applications of Tool Steel HDS H11: Besides applications typical for the area of hot-work steels, this grade is especially used for ejector pins, tool holders, bridge kind tools, liner holders, forging dies, hot work punches, and shrink work chucks.

EN9 steel, classified as a medium carbon steel grade, contains approximately 0.45% carbon. Renowned for its exceptional wear resistance properties, EN9 steel rods can undergo flame or induction hardening to achieve a remarkable surface hardness, further enhancing their wear resistance capabilities. The provided text specifies the criteria for carbon and carbon-manganese, alloy, free-cutting, and stainless steels that are typically supplied in a brightly finished condition after being cold-processed. Carbon Steel EN9 is widely utilized in various engineering fields for a multitude of applications. It is commonly employed in the manufacturing of shafts, axes, knives, bushes, crankshafts, screws, woodworking drills, hammers, and sickles. Stock Availability of Carbon Steel EN9: Carbon Steel EN9 materials are normally available in forms like EN9 Rough Round. We supply En9 materials as per our Customer’s Cutting Requirement.

Tool Steel is a type of high carbon steel known as HCHCR D2. It is specifically designed to provide maximum resistance to wear, exceptional durability, and excellent maintenance capabilities. This steel can also undergo nitriding after undergoing special heat treatment. HCHCR-D2 steel falls under the category of Cold Work Tool Steel and contains high amounts of carbon and chromium. One of the distinguishing features of this steel is its addition of vanadium, which enhances its wear resistance and toughness properties. With a hardness reaching up to 57-59 HRC, D2 materials offer superior performance compared to D3 due to their higher alloy properties. Stock Availability of Tool Steel - High Carbon Steel HCHCR D2: This Tool Steel materials are normally available in the various forms of HCHCR D2 Round, HCHCR D2 Square and HCHCR D2 Flat. We supply these materials as per our Customer’s cutting Requirement. Applications of Tool Steel - High Carbon Steel HCHCR D2: Tool Steel - High Carbon Steel HCHCR D2 applicable for cold stamping or forming dies, cold forming rolls, Chipper knives, Punches, slitters, shear blades, tools, tyre shredders, trimming, cutting dies , stamping tools etc. It can be utilized as threading rolls and dies, icy trimming, cutting and stamping tools for sheet thicknesses up to 6 mm. Used as shearing blades for sheet thicknesses up to 12 mm.

HDS H13 Tool Steel is a flexible chromium-molybdenum hot work steel that is frequently used in hot and cold work tooling applications. H13's hot hardness (hot strength) resists thermal fatigue cracking caused by cyclic heating and cooling cycles in hot work tooling applications.H13 is also employed in a number of cold work tooling applications due to its high toughness and excellent heat treatment resilience. H13 is utilized for more hot work tooling applications than any other tool steel due to its exceptional combination of high toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue cracking (also known as heat checking). In these applications, H13 outperforms typical alloy steels such as 4140 in terms of hardenability and wear resistance. Stock Availability of Tool Steel HDS H13: Tool Steel HDS H13 materials are normally available in the various forms of HDS Round, HDS Square and HDS Flat. HDS H13 Grades are supplied against specific orders. We supply these materials as per our Customer’s cutting Requirement. Applications of Tool Steel HDS H13: Tool Steel HDS H13 is widely used in aluminum and zinc casting dies, as well as in aluminum extrusion, aluminum die casting and press tooling. This grade is ideal for a range of hot work and cold work applications - particularly hot work applications where drastic cooling is required throughout its operation.
