H14
Hot Work Tool Steel H14
H14 is a hot work tool steel engineered for strong hot hardness and wear resistance in high-temperature tooling. It maintains strength during prolonged exposure to heat, supporting stable die performance. The grade offers reliable toughness to resist cracking under thermal cycling and impact loads. Its consistent response to heat treatment helps achieve predictable hardness through sections. H14 is used for die casting, hot extrusion, and forging applications. It performs well in hot shear blades, mandrels, and inserts that face abrasive wear. Built for demanding production, H14 helps extend tool life and reduce maintenance.
