    Uploaded by

    Mike
    H12 is a hot work tool steel with the following characteristics: 1. It has excellent resistance to wear and high strength at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for highly stressed hot work tools. 2. Its chemical composition includes 0.3-0.8% C, 0.2-0.6% Mn, 4.75-5.5% Cr, 1.25-1.75% Mo, and 0.2-0.5% V. 3. It is heat treated through annealing, stress relieving, hardening, and double tempering to achieve a hardness of 55-60 HRC for applications like extrusion and forging dies.
