DIN 1.2713 tool steel is widely used for heavy-duty tooling applications requiring high toughness, excellent strength, and good hardenability. It is particularly suitable for large cross-section components where uniform mechanical properties and resistance to impact loading are essential.
Typical applications include hot forging dies, die holders, hot extrusion tools, heavy press tools, and large mold blocks. Due to its outstanding toughness and reliable performance after heat treatment, DIN 1.2713 is also commonly used for plastic mold bases and structural mold components subjected to high mechanical stress.
1.2713 hot work tool steel is subjected to ultrasonic testing (UT) to ensure internal soundness and reliability for critical applications. The UT test detects internal defects such as inclusions, porosity, shrinkage cavities, or cracks that may compromise the steel’s performance under high thermal and mechanical stresses. Inspection is carried out in accordance with international standards , using calibrated probes to evaluate the entire cross-section. Only defect-free material with homogeneous internal structure is accepted, guaranteeing high toughness, excellent thermal fatigue resistance, and consistent quality for die casting, extrusion dies, and hot forging tools.
1.Black Surface – As-rolled or forged finish with oxide scale.
2.Ground Finish – Bright appearance with a slightly rough texture; not precision ground.
3.Machined Plate Finish – Bright and accurate dimensions; minor turning marks may be visible.
4.Peeled/Turned Finish – Bright with precise sizing; slight turning marks remain.
5.Polished Finish – Highly bright with precise dimensions; free from turning marks.
Q1: What is DIN 1.2713 tool steel used for?
A: It is mainly used for hot work dies, forging tools, and large mold components requiring high toughness.
Q2: Can 1.2713 tool steel be heat treated?
A: Yes, DIN 1.2713 can be quenched and tempered to achieve uniform hardness and excellent mechanical properties.
