H-21 is 9% Tungsten hot work tool steel. H-211.2581 Work tool Steel was developed to extend the life of aluminum die cast moulds. Used for hot-working dies and tooling such as die casting, extrusion and hot forming of parts. This alloy is one of the Hot Work, tungsten containing tool steels. The tungsten content is beneficial for hot strength at red heat, although toughness is somewhat reduced. Applications : Tools for metal tubes & rods, extrusion. Presses, rams, forging dies etc. Sizes Available : Rounds. Dia and Length are as per clients request.

• Preheat carefully, then raise temperature to 850-1200°C for forging. Do not forge below 850°C. After forging EN40B alloy steel, cool slowly in still air.Heat slowly to 680-700°C. Cool in air.
• EN40BT is supplied ready heat treated. If further heat treatment is required annealed EN40B shouldHeat carefully to a suitable temperature, selected by reference to a tempering chart or table (usual

• Unmatched thermal conductivityInsusceptibility to hot cracking

H-11 is 5% Chromium Hot Work Tool Steel. H-11 Steel has high hot tensile strength and toughness. It has good thermal conductivity and insusceptibility to hot cracking. H-11 can be water-cooled to a limited extent. Applications : Hot–work tool steel for universal use. Pressure casting dies and metal extrusion tools for processing light metals, forging dies, moulds, screws and barrels for plastic processing, shrink rings, hot-shear blades. Sizes Available : Rounds , Flats and Squares.

• Good mechanical propertiesCorrosion resistance

0.4% medium carbon steel. A general purpose steel for applications requiring added strength and superior tensile properties to mild steel specifications.0.5% carbon steel giving higher tensile than EN8. Can be induction or flame hardened.1% chromium molybdenum high tensile steel. Suitable for highly stressed applications where greater strength is required.Nickel chromium molybdenum high tensile steel. Has good wear and shock resistance and is suitable for tensile ranges up to 1550 Nmm2.414% nickel steel. Achieves a good through hardness with air or oil hardening. It is capable of taking a good polish and is widely used as a plastic mould steel.High carbon alloy steel which achieves a high degree of hardness with compressive strength and abrasion resistance.Nickel chromium case hardening steel. Give a very hard surface with a strong core and retaining a high degree of toughness.

D2 tool steel is extremely sensitive to overheating during hardening – do not overheat.Pre heat slowly to 750780°C and soak. Continue heating to the final hardening temperature of 10001030°C and allow the component to equalise. Quench in oil or cool in air.Heat uniformly and thoroughly to the desired temperature and hold for 25 minutes per cm of thickness. D2 can be double tempering at approximately 15°C below the first tempering, after intermediate cooling to room temperature.
