Today,  let’s talk about the M42 high-Speed steel, it has other known names such as  1.3247, HS 2-10-1-8, S500, E M42, REX M42.It is a molybdenum series high-speed steel alloy with an additional 8 or 10 percent cobalt. M42 steel has good wear resistance and hot hardness along with high hardness values. Furthermore, Excellent cutting performance can be achieved from tools made in M42 high speed steel.

It is widely used in metal manufacturing industries because of its superior red hardness as compared to more conventional high-speed steels. This allows for shorter cycle times in production environments due to its higher cutting speeds and from the increase in time between tool changes. M42 costs less when compared to those same tools made of carbide.

An Italian customer bought 15 tons of M42 round steel from our company, used as a high-speed cutting tool, like a drill bit. Mostly, it is mainly used in high-end industries. he was satisfied with the product.

A story about p20 plastic mould steel

For this P20 steel, I would like to share a funny story about my senior manager Mr. Liang. Following is his statement:

I remember that when I start to work in this plastic mold steel field. there is no professional training on the products at all at that company. we only have a product catalog that was copied from another competitor supplier. it is only with 2-3 pages. And the catalog is very simple, the paper quality is worse. I only could read the number from a catalog, but could not understand anything about other words meaning.

During the company for about two weeks, I always sit in front of the computer.  I searched for some more data for the P20 steel from the internet. On the morning of one day, the boss asked me that can you visit the customer for the business. I was shocked and my head is blank because I did not get any training on the products. I had no idea about the target customers which will use the P20 steel. it may lose my face if I said to the boss I can’t do it. So I said yes, I can. And then I checked some customer contact info and address in Dongguan. visited them immediately without making an appointment.

When I met the customer, I gave him my name card and catalog and had a very short introduction to my company .and after that, I kept silent over there. The customer asked me some simple questions and found I was fresh sales. Even in my mind, I questioned myself, what is the P20 steel? Is it plastic or steel? He said, hey, young man, thanks for your visit. I purchased the plastic mold steel from another supplier. we will not choose the new supplier which is a small company.

After that, my manager Mr. Liang worked very hard. and now he is super professional on all the steel products. through more than 20 years of development and experience for the Otai company. we are proud to be a part of this industry because of our creating technique .we exported different special steel to more than 30 countries all over the world. Most of our customers once placed the order, they will place the repeat order to us .because they trust us about the quality, profession, and service.

Difference between h11 and h13 – What is the difference between h11 and h13? This article will introduce the difference between them.

1. What is h11 and h13 steel?

H11 compare H13
H11 : It is relatively low in carbon content and has good toughness and deep hardens by air quench from heat treatment.
H13 : Due to its high toughness and excellent heat treatment stability, H13 can also be used in a variety of cold working tools

2. Chemical composition

3. Application

H11 is often used for highly stressed structural parts such as aircraft landing gear

H11 is common in Europe

H13Used in die casting mould, die casting sleeve, hot forging mould, extrusion mould and plastic mould cavity

H13 is the main material in the United States

According to the use condition of the mould factory, the 1.2344 more wear-resistant. Generally speaking, the service life of 1.2344 will be longer than 1.2343 in the same product, but the price almost the same, that’s why most customers prefer 1.2344, so we offer both 1.2344 and 1.2343 for your reference.

H13 application –H13 tool steels are suitable for forming extrusion dies.
H13 steel is widely used, mainly used in inserts, cores, and cavities for die casting dies, die casting shot sleeves, hot forging dies, extrusion dies, etc.

Because of its excellent combination of high toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue cracking (also known as heat checking) H13 is used for more hot work tooling applications than any other tool steel.

H13 Tool Steel is a versatile chromium-molybdenum hot work steel that is widely used in hot work and cold work tooling applications. The hot hardness (hot strength) of H13 resists thermal fatigue cracking which occurs as a result of cyclic heating and cooling cycles in hot work tooling applications. Because of its excellent combination of high toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue cracking (also known as heat checking) H13 is used for more hot work tooling applications than any other tool steel.

COMPOSITION

Characteristic

H13 steel is the most widely used and most representative hot work die steel. Its main characteristics are as below:

(1) has high hardenability and high toughness;

(2) Excellent resistance to thermal cracking, which can be water-cooled in the workplace;

(3) It has medium abrasion resistance, and can also be used to improve the surface hardness of carburizing or nitriding process, but slightly reduce the resistance to thermal cracking;

(4) Because of its low carbon content, the secondary hardening ability in tempering is poor;

(5) It has softening resistance at higher temperatures, but the hardness is higher than 540 °C (1000 °F), and the hardness is rapidly decreased (ie, the working temperature is 540 °C);

Because of its high toughness and very good stability in heat treatment, H13 is also used in a variety of cold work tooling applications. In these applications, H13 provides better hardenability (through hardening in large section thicknesses) and better wear resistance than common alloy steels such as 4140.

H13 Application
