Today, we embark on a journey through precision and durability as we delve into two exceptional tool steel materials 1.2436 and H13. ByTool Steel understands that quality materials are critical in producing supreme results; hence, our devotion surpasses international boundaries towards customers in the US.

1.2436 Tool Steel: 

The steel is high-carbon and high-chromium (2436 or D6), exhibiting high wear resistance and toughness. This includes cutting or forming operations of extremely high-precision material requirements, e.g., production or cutting tools. Now, let’s explore the unique aspects that set 1.2436 apart.

  • High Wear Resistance: Higher amounts of carbon and chromium make 1.2436 tool steel resistant against abrasion. This is because of its properties and the long tool life, making it the preferred material in demanding applications.
  • Excellent Toughness: Toughness, they say, is one of the virtues in the world of tooling. 1. Toughness 2436 is excellent as it enables tools to function without compromise in challenging working conditions.
  • Precision Machining: It shows that 1.2436 has inherent properties suitable for precision machining. This makes the material very usable for tool makers since they can work on it with precision, accuracy, and reliability.
  • Versatility: 1.2436 shows flexibility in meeting the numerous tooling demands ranging from cold work to intricate die-cutting operations.

H13 Tool Steel: 

H13 is the next hot work tool steel that has become essential to tooling. Due to its resistance to high temperatures, hardness, and strength, it is often used in many application areas. Why, then, do toolmakers prefer it over other types of steel?

  • Hot Work Capability: The increased temperature resistance of the h13 material price makes it superior in application areas with intense heating, such as heated tools. The feature keeps such hot work processes in stable and long-lasting operation.
  • Exceptional Toughness: 1.2436, H13 has extraordinary hardness and strength properties. The tool’s resiliency is paramount in the context of heavier load or impact stress exposure.
  • Uniform Hardness: The tool must exhibit consistent hardness to deliver optimal performance continually. This is where H13 outsmarts the rest by providing rugged equipment that can be used on almost anything.
  • Versatility in Applications: The h13 material price is suitable for die-casting, forging, and extrusion processes and, therefore, essential for any toolbox regardless of the hot work application.
