hot punching is made cleaner and easier with the addition of punching lubricant. I used Fuchs forge ease lubricant also available on this site
AISI H-13 Tool Steel - a 5% chromium hot work tool steel designed for applications that require extreme toughness combined with good red-hardness. H13 will allow an extra margin of safety in tools subject to heavy hammer blows, and those containing deep recesses or sharp corners. Although H13 was designed as a hot work steel, it has solved many cold work applications where extra toughness could be gained with some sacrifice of wear resistance.
Properties
H-13 is typically bought to meet chemistry requirements rather than physical requirements. For that reason, physical properties are generally not provided unless requested prior to production. Any material can be sent to a third party after production to be tested for physical properties.
Typical Uses
- Hot Work Dies
- Hot Punching
- Drift
- Cut Off Tooling
- High Performance Tooling
punching and drifting is greatly improved and tool life extended by using non toxic Forge Ease forging lubricant
