hot worked mold steel

H11/1.2343 tool steel is a high-strength, high-toughness hot-work mold steel with excellent heat resistance and hardness, widely used in manufacturing high-quality molds, mold components, and tools ‌. Compared to other types of steel, H11 tool steel exhibits superior comprehensive performance, especially at high temperatures, maintaining its strength and toughness even below 600℃ ‌[High Temperature Performance]‌. Its chemical composition includes chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, which contribute to its high hardness and wear resistance. While H11/1.2343 tool steel can undergo heat treatment processes like quenching and tempering to enhance its hardness and strength, it may impact its plasticity ‌[Heat Treatment & Plasticity]‌. Overall, H11 steel is particularly suitable for manufacturing molds requiring high precision and complexity due to its superior deformation ability and workability ‌[Suitability for Complex Molds]‌ .
