Sabra Metals, located in Amman, Jordan, stands out as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Tool and Die Steel H13 bars, catering to a variety of industrial needs. Known for its precise processing and rigorous quality checks, the company offers H13 steel products that are built to endure tough working conditions, such as thermal shock, repeated heating and cooling, and significant mechanical stress. With a commitment to consistent performance, timely delivery, and technical know-how, Sabra Metals has become the go-to choice for toolmakers, fabricators, and manufacturers in search of durable, heat-resistant steel solutions.
Tool and Die Steel H13 bars feature a moderate carbon content (around 0.32–0.45%) along with high amounts of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, which provide them with remarkable hardenability and resistance to thermal fatigue. This alloy retains its strength and toughness even at elevated temperatures, making it perfect for hot-work applications. H13 steel is known for its impressive wear resistance, good ductility, and stable hardness—typically ranging from 48 to 55 HRC after heat treatment. Its well-balanced composition ensures reliable performance under extreme thermal cycles while maintaining dimensional stability and structural integrity.

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 commonly utilized in settings that demand resistance to high temperatures, impact, and rapid thermal cycling. Typical applications include hot-forging dies, extrusion dies, die-casting molds, hot shear blades, and mandrels. The ability of H13 to maintain its hardness and toughness in extreme heat makes it an excellent choice for hot-work tooling in industries like automotive, aerospace, and metal processing. Additionally, it finds use in plastic mold tooling, injection molding components, and high-pressure die-casting systems. Its durability and resistance to cracking guarantee a long service life, dependable performance, and minimized downtime in challenging environments.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
