ESR Turned Hot Work Mould Steel Bar H13 1.2344 SKD61
Die-casting mould for aluminum, extrusion mould, and thin-wall plastics mould.
1. Definition
1.2344/H13/SKD61 steel is a pressure resistant hot work die steel. The steel is remelted by electroslag, uniform in material, good in hardenability, excellent in machinability and polishing performance, high toughness and plasticity, good high and low temperature wear resistance, and high temperature fatigue and heat resistance.
