Latrobe LSS™ H13 PQ Hot Work Tool Steel
Subcategory: Tool Steel; Hot Work Steel; Metal
Close Analogs: Iron content calculated as balance. Timken sold Latrobe in December 2006. They are now Latrobe Specialty Steels Co.
Material Notes: TLS™ H13 PQ is a premium quality H13 hot work steel that is designed to meet the highest quality standards in the die casting industry, and to excel in the most demanding hot work applications. TLS H13 PQ is melted using an electric-arc furnace, is refined by the argon-oxygen-decarburization (AOD) process, and is further enhanced to aerospace quality levels using Vacuum-Arc or Electro-Slag Remelting. These special melting practices along with special thermo-mechanical and annealing treatments result in ultra-high mirco-cleanliness and a homogeneous, fine-grained microstructure. TLS H13 PQ exhibits outstanding impact toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue cracking (heat checking), and will meet or exceed a wide variety of die casting industry specifications, including all of the requirements of NADCA 207-97.TLS H13 PQ provides the highest performance in typical applications such as inserts, cores, and cavities for die casting dies, die casting shot sleeves, hot forging dies, extrusion die
