Meltio Material Datasheet Rev 2.0 Meltio Tool Steel H11 Tool Steel H11 /1.2343 Tool Steel H11 is one of the most commonly used tool steels. It is a hot-work steel that is used to make hot-working tools such as forging, die-casting, extrusion, and plastic molds due to its resistance to thermal fatigue cracking and high-temperature abrasion. In addition to hot-working tools, it is also used to produce cutting tools and in the aerospace industry for mechanical components.

Meltio Material Datasheet Tomography Computed Tomography Scan of 3D printed sample part in H11 without detectable voids or defects. Resolution of 24 pm per pixel. Tool Steel H11 displays tempered and fresh martensite, retained austenite, and columnar grain morphology aligned with the solidification front. Heat treatment reduces retained austenite and refines the grain to a primarily equiaxed shape, converting most of the martensite. Trace amounts of austenite may remain undetectable with light microscopy. Relative density as 3D printed Mechanical Properties Results show that specimens printed...

m G LTI □ Meltio Material Datasheet Meltio Tool Steel H11 Tool Steel H11 / 1.2343 Cladding and Dual Material Applications Tool Steel H11 is highly resistant to wear, deformation and heat, which makes it an excellent material for cladding or dual material applications where not the entire component requires these properties. H11 steel has excellent weldability and can be used to form a dense and well-bonded coating layer that provides high wear resistance, high Hardness and temperature resistance as well as good corrosion resistance. Elemental Mapping Elemental (EDX) Mapping is employed to characterize...
