Penempaan
Panaskan AISI H13 with two steps,first heat the temperature to 750°C – 800°C ,hold for suitable time,then heat the temperature up to 1050°C – 1100°C,hold enough time for the steel to be thoroughly heated.Reheat is necessary when temperature below 950HAIC.H13 steel should be cooled as slowly as possible in the furnace.Annealing is always required after forged.
anil
Annealing is considered as a treatment suitable for machining.Heat the temperature to 840°C-860°C, hold suitable time for the steel to be thoroughly heated, then furnace cooling.Annealed black surface, hardness≤255HB.
Menghilangkan stres
It is recommended to stress relieve after machining and prior to hardening to minimise the possibility of distortion.H13 should be heated through to 600-650°C, holding time 2 hours. Cool slowly in furnace.
pengerasan
Pre-heating temperature: 600–850°C,normally in two pre-heating steps.
Austenitizing temperature: 1020–1050°C,normally 1020–1030°C
| Temperature,°C | Soaking Time,Minutes | Kekerasan sebelum temper |
| 1025 | 30 | 53±2 HRC |
| 1050 | 15 | 54±2 HRC |
Soaking time = time at hardening temperature after the tool is fully heated through.
Tempering
Tempering should be carried out immediately after quenching. Heat slowly and uniformly to the tempering temperature,soak well not less than 2 hours(one hour per 25mm of total thickness).The usual tempering range is 530-650°C depending on the hardness requirements and the operating temperature of the tool.Double tempering is strongly recommended,H13 H13 should be cooled to room temperature between tempers.Tempering within the range 425-550°C is not recommended due to the reduction in toughness properties.
Aplikasi
H13 hot work tool steel has excellent properties which is widely used in hot work and cold work applications.
Typical applications include die casting dies for aluminium, magnesium and zinc, extrusion dies for aluminium and brass, liners, mandrels, pressure pads, followers, bolsters, die cases, die holders and adaptor rings for copper and brass extrusion. H13 is used to produce hot stamping and press forge dies, split hot heading dies, gripper dies, hot punching, piercing and trimming tools. Other applications include plastic moulds, shear blades for hot work and hot swaging dies.
