Tariku Metals, located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has earned a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars. With a strong focus on precision engineering and a commitment to quality, Tariku Metals produces H13 Bars that adhere to international standards for performance and dependability. By utilizing cutting-edge metallurgical techniques, the company guarantees exceptional strength, toughness, and heat resistance in every product. These H13 Bars are specifically crafted for high-temperature and high-stress industrial applications, making them perfect for tooling, die casting, and forging operations across a variety of manufacturing and engineering fields.
The Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars from Tariku Metals are made from chromium-molybdenum-vanadium hot work tool steels, featuring a well-balanced mix of carbon (0.32–0.45%), chromium (4.75–5.50%), molybdenum (1.10–1.75%), and vanadium (0.80–1.20%). This unique alloy blend delivers outstanding toughness, heat resistance, and wear resistance. After heat treatment, the steel achieves a hardness of 48–52 HRC, ensuring it retains strength and stability even at high temperatures. H13 Bars also demonstrate excellent thermal fatigue resistance, high hardenability, and superb machinability, making them ideal for both hot and cold work applications.

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 primarily designed for tooling and high-temperature applications. While strong, they are not ideal for structural applications due to their specific properties tailored for manufacturing tools.
Tariku Metals’ Tool and Die Steel H13 Bars are extensively utilized in scenarios that demand high strength, toughness, and resistance to heat and wear. They are perfect for creating die-casting dies, extrusion dies, forging dies, and hot shear blades. Additionally, H13 Bars find their place in plastic mold tools, punches, and mandrels, thanks to their ability to endure repeated thermal cycles. With their remarkable hardness retention and dimensional stability, these bars are well-suited for both hot and cold work tooling. Tariku Metals’ H13 Bars deliver exceptional performance, durability, and reliability in even the most challenging industrial settings.
