Hot Work Tool Steel

H-grade tool steels are crafted for strength and hardness under extreme heat. With carbide-forming alloys enhancing durability, H1-H19 grades use 5% chromium for oxidation resistance and toughness, while H20-H39 rely on tungsten for superior heat resistance. They excel in tools for high-temperature applications.
