1.2344 steel, also known as H13 steel, is a versatile material that offers an exceptional balance of toughness, heat resistance, and wear resistance. This material is commonly used in a variety of applications, including extrusion dies, forging dies, hot work tools, and plastic molds. With its excellent machinability and electrical discharge machining (EDM) capabilities, 1.2344 steel is a preferred material choice for a wide range of tooling and mold-making applications. 1.2344 steel is an air-hardening tool steel, which means it has excellent toughness and can withstand high heat temperatures without losing its strength or hardness after annealing. This makes it ideal for the production of hot working tools, extrusion dies, and forging dies. The material is also versatile, able to be used as a mold for a variety of plastics, making it a preferred choice for many mold makers. With its exceptional resistance to thermal shock, 1.2344 steel is capable of withstanding sudden temperature changes without losing its material properties. Additionally, the surface hardness of this steel can be increased through nitriding, which gives it a hard and wear-resistant outer layer.
