8407 Tool Steel

8407 is a high-quality hot work tool steel launched by ASSAB of Sweden, corresponding to AISI H13 or DIN 1.2344 (JIS SKD61) commonly known internationally. It adopts a Cr-Mo-V alloying design, featuring excellent thermal fatigue resistance and temperature strength, as well as good processing performance. It is widely used in mold manufacturing in high-temperature load environments such as casting, extrusion, hot forging, hot stamping, and injection molding.
