Hot Work Tool Steel
Suitable for high-temperature applications such as die casting, hot extrusion and hot forging.
Product Overview
Hot work tool steel is designed for high-temperature die applications such as hot extrusion, die casting and hot forging. It offers good hot strength, resistance to thermal fatigue and toughness, ensuring stable performance under repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Typical Use Cases
- Die-Casting Dies
- Hot Extrusion Dies
- Hot Forging Dies
- Aluminium Alloy Dies
