Forged H13 ESR Hot Work Mold Steel Round Bar

 
H13 ESR is a high-end hot work die steel refined by electroslag remelting (ESR). The forged round bar has high purity, fine grains, high toughness, and high thermal strength, making it the preferred material for die-casting, hot forging, and hot extrusion dies.

Product Advantage

  • High purity and uniform structure: Electroslag remelting (ESR)+forging, with extremely low impurities, no obvious segregation, good isotropy, and polishing up to mirror level.

  • Strong and tough, with excellent crack resistance: forging refines grain size, evenly distributes carbides, and has an impact toughness 30% higher than ordinary H13. It has strong resistance to thermal fatigue and thermal cracking.

  • High thermal stability and good red hardness: It does not soften after long-term operation at 500-600 ℃, has excellent high-temperature strength and wear resistance, and is resistant to metal erosion.

  • Stable heat treatment and small deformation: excellent hardenability, uniform hardness (± 1HRC), heat treatment deformation<0.05%, high dimensional accuracy.

  • Long lifespan and high reliability: Under die-casting/hot forging conditions, the mold lifespan is increased by 30% -50% compared to ordinary H13, reducing downtime and repair costs.

  • Good processing and surface treatment properties: easy to cut, polish, nitride, and PVD coating, with strong surface quality and coating adhesion.

4. Manufacturing Process (Forging+Esr Refining)
  • Smelting: EAF → LF → VD → ESR electric slag remelting (high purity, uniform structure).

  • Forging: Three upsetting and three pulling+high temperature diffusion forging, crushing carbides and refining grains

  • Heat treatment: Annealing (220-250HB) → Rough machining → Quenching (1010-1030 ℃ air cooling) → Tempering (540-650 ℃ secondary tempering), with adjustable hardness of 46-54HRC.

5. Key Performance (Esr Level Advantage)
  • At room temperature: hardness of 50-54HRC, impact energy ≥ 40J, tensile strength of 1200-1400MPa.

  • High temperature: 600 ℃ still maintains ≥ 48HRC, resistant to softening, thermal cracking, and thermal fatigue.

  • Organization: ESR+forging → no obvious segregation, fine grains, uniform carbides, mold life 30-50% higher than ordinary H13.

6. Specifications And Delivery Status
  • Size: Forged round with a diameter of 140-700mm

  • Surface: black leather forging, rough turning, fine turning, peeling, polishing.

  • Tolerance: forged circle 0/+5mm, smooth circle 0/+1mm, precision machined h9/h8.

  • Ultrasonic testing: UT (ultrasonic)+MT (magnetic powder), according to GB/T 6402/EN 10228 standard.

Product Uses

  • Aluminum/magnesium alloy die-casting molds, hot extrusion molds, and hot forging molds (for automotive/aerospace precision forgings).

  • High end mold core components require high toughness, heat fatigue resistance, and erosion resistance.
