Heat Treatment Guide & Properties

H11 responds well to controlled heat treatment, developing a uniform hardness profile with excellent toughness. Double or triple tempering is commonly used to enhance resistance to thermal fatigue and improve tool life in hot work applications.

🔥

Annealing

840°C – 870°C

Slow furnace cooling to improve machinability.

🔥

Hardening

1000°C – 1040°C

Air or oil quenching depending on section size.

🔥

Tempering

540°C – 620°C

Double tempering recommended to achieve optimum toughness.

H11 steel is alloyed with Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium to provide a stable microstructure at elevated temperatures. Chromium enhances hardenability and resistance to softening, while Molybdenum improves high-temperature strength and reduces thermal fatigue. Vanadium refines the grain structure and contributes to wear resistance, making H11 suitable for long service life in hot work environments.

H11 offers high toughness and good resistance to thermal cracking, even under severe temperature fluctuations. After heat treatment, it provides a balanced combination of hardness and impact strength. These properties make H11 ideal for tools subjected to repeated mechanical and thermal loads, where premature cracking or deformation must be avoided.
