Tool and Die Steels for your Pressure Die Casting

Pressure die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. The mold cavity is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined into shape and work similarly to an injection mold during the process.

1. H13 Steels: DIN 1.2344 (H13) is a hot work tool steel that has excellent machinability and polishability, good high toughness and plasticity, high wear resistance at high and low temperatures and overall hardening performance. It is widely used for aluminum, magnesium and zinc die casting, as well as metal extrusion tools, shear knives, and hot forging dies.
2. H11 Steels: DIN 1.2343 (H11) is also a hot work tool steel that has similar properties to DIN 1.2344 (H13), but with less vanadium content, which gives it higher toughness and lower wear resistance. It is suitable for die casting molds for light metal processing, cylinders and pistons on cold chamber machines, and hot forming tools.
3. H21 Steels: DIN 1.2581 (H21) is a tungsten-chrome-vanadium steel for hardening in oil and possibly in air with very good hardenability, very high firmness during the heat and resistance to the tempering, high resistance to the hot tempering and good toughness. It is mainly used for hot-working dies and tooling, such as extrusion, die casting and hot-forming of parts.
