What is H21 steel?
H21 is perhaps the most widely used of the Tungsten hot work steels. The 9.5% tungsten content imparts good resistance to softening at service temperatures while still maintaining adequate toughness. Unlike the higher tungsten grades, H-21 may be cooled by continuous flow of water if the design of the die will permit.

H21 Steel Applications:

H21 hot work tool steel is particularly useful for hot forging and blanking dies and punches for making nuts, bolts and other similar small components. Dies, cores, inserts, pins, etc for the die casting of copper base alloys are also prime applications for this steel. Other uses include forming dies, shear blades, hot extrusion dies, mandrels, punches, die holders, ejector discs and extrusion liners.
