H13 also is called as 1.2344 (often designated as X40CrMoV5-1) in DIN/EN grade and also named by SKD61 or UNS T20813 which is chromium based hot-work tool steel.

H13 tool steel powder commonly is used in additive manufacturing (LPBF, DED) for high-temperature tooling applications with high temperature strength, wear resistance and thermal fatigue resistance.

It can retain hardness and strength at elevated temperature up to 600℃ which is suitable for die casting or forging dies or extrusion toolings.

Normally our H13 powders are produced by gas atomization with spherical morphology and varies particle size, such as 15-45um, 15-53um or 20-63um for LPBF, 45-105um for DED.
