Isis Metals stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars, proudly based in Manila, Philippines. They’re well-known for providing high-quality tool steels that meet the demanding needs of today’s industries. With a strong focus on quality, precision, and performance, Isis Metals delivers H13 bars that boast remarkable toughness, hardness, and resistance to thermal fatigue. These bars are perfect for applications that require durability in high heat and pressure environments. By leveraging cutting-edge production technology and rigorous quality checks, Isis Metals guarantees reliable, high-performance solutions for all your tool and die needs.
Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars are made up of chromium (Cr 5.0–5.5%), molybdenum (Mo 1.2–1.5%), vanadium (V 0.8–1.2%), carbon (C 0.32–0.45%), and iron (Fe balance). This specific alloy mix gives the steel its impressive hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. After heat treatment, H13 steel typically reaches a hardness range of 48–52 HRC, along with excellent thermal shock resistance and high red hardness. It retains its strength and dimensional stability even at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for both hot and cold working processes.

When choosing Tool and Die Steel H13 bars, consider factors such as hardness, heat resistance, wear resistance, toughness, machinability, and the specific requirements of the application, including temperature and load conditions.
Tool and Die Steel H13 bars offer limited corrosion resistance due to their high alloy content, but they can still be susceptible to rusting in harsh environments. To improve corrosion resistance, they may require additional surface treatments like coating or regular maintenance to prevent degradation.
Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars are widely utilized across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, plastics, and metalworking, for crafting dies, molds, and extrusion tools. They’re particularly well-suited for die casting dies, forging dies, injection molds, and hot shear blades, thanks to their exceptional heat resistance and durability. H13 bars are also commonly used in punches, mandrels, and pressure die-casting tools, where consistent performance at high temperatures is essential. Their outstanding combination of toughness, hardness, and thermal fatigue resistance makes them a go-to choice for high-performance tooling operations around the globe.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
