H11/2343ESR Hot Work Tool Steel

H11/2343ESRHot Work Tool Steel

Thanks to theelectro slag remeltingprocess, the H11/2343ESR hot work tool steel offers greatly improvedproperties. For instance, it provides high temperature fatigue resistance,abrasion resistance, high full quenching and tempering properties. The producthas better isotropic properties than conventionally produced steel. Inaddition, it is nitridable,polishable, dimensionallystable and can be used as cold work steel.

The blocks we offer areavailable in a maximum diameter of 600 mmand thickness of 400 mm. So,customers can find the right one for their need. Currently our 2343ESR hot worktool steel is used in a variety of applications in many fields.
1. It is used in making tools for die casting, like dies, fixed inserts,cores, nozzles, nitridedejection pins, and nitride shot sleeves.
2. The product is used to manufacture tools for extrusion, such as die holders,liners, and dummy blocks.
3. The tool steel is ideally suited for injection molds and tools for hot pressingof aluminum, magnesium and copper alloy.
4. Other applications include parts for severe cold punching, scrap shears,shrink rings and wear resistant parts.
