Description
PowderRange® H13 is a versatile air hardening, 5% chromium hot work steel. It exhibits a good combination of high toughness, temper resistance, and thermal fatigue resistance. PowderRange® H13 has challenging weldability in laser and electron-beam additive manufacturing processes, where part geometry and build parameters could induce micro-cracking.
Key Properties
- High impact toughness and good ductility
- High temperature strength
- Good abrasion resistance at temperature
- Resistance to thermal fatigue
- Limited distortion during hardening
Markets
Applications:
- Tooling for extrusion and molding
- Valves and fittings
- Pumps and impellers
- Manifolds
- Die casting
