Tool steel plate grade

H13 Precision Tool Steel Plates

H13 plates and blocks are prepared by six-side milling or two-side grinding with four-side milling. Thick hot-work forgings require drawing-specific review of material condition, machining sequence and dimensional acceptance.

Grinding and Milling Options

Each catalog reference carries its selected scope into the quotation form. Finished dimensions, material records and acceptance follow the approved order.

H13 Two-Side Ground + Four-Side Milled Plates — model schematic
Model schematic · illustrative geometry
LCD-PL-H13-G2

Two-side ground + four-side milled

Precision grinding on two reference faces, with the four remaining faces milled. Thickness and length/width have separate tolerances.

Length / width
±0.10 mm
Thickness
±0.05 mm
Parallelism
0.04 mm / 100 mm between the ground reference faces
Material condition
Confirm the material condition for the order
Size scope
Maximum processing: 1200×800×400 mm; process review required

Finish dimensions and material condition are agreed for the selected grade. Large plates and additional geometric requirements need drawing-specific review.

Grade and condition limits

H13 is outside the published E1 grade list. The listed G2 and M6 options retain their own tolerances. Send a different grinding scope or tighter requirement for separate technical review.

Grade designations are listed separately; no automatic equivalence or substitution is assumed. Per-100-mm parallelism does not define whole-plate flatness or surface roughness.

Drawing and Quotation Checklist

  • Provide the actual material condition and any later heat-treatment sequence for the H13 block.
  • For large or thick forgings, define the geometry to be inspected at delivery and discuss stress-related machining requirements.
  • Confirm the ground reference faces and allowance rather than assigning the published E1 specification to H13.

Include quantity, drawing revision, required inspection documents and delivery destination. Single-piece and small-batch inquiries are accepted.

Inspection and Production Planning

MTC material documentation, hardness and dimensional inspection reports can be requested. UT reports are available on request with an agreed scope. Regular plate sizes range from 100×100×20 to 800×600×300 mm; maximum processing size is 1200×800×400 mm, subject to grade, condition and finish review. This maximum does not carry the E1 tolerance.

Typical production: 3–7 working days. Working days exclude weekends and statutory public holidays in China. The clock starts on the next working day after formal PO receipt, final drawing/specification approval and applicable deposit receipt are all completed. Transport time is separate.
