FORMVAR is a high performance hot work tool steel which offers a very good resistance to hot wear and plastic deformation. It is a solid upgrade choice especially from H13 and H11 forging tools on the market.
With good tempering back resistance and hot yield strength, FORMVAR will ensure increased tool life over H13/H11 dies. This gives a longer tool life and reduced maintenance and tooling costs.
Good temper resistance
Good high-temperature strength
Excellent hardenability
Good dimensional stability throughout heat treatment and coating operations.
