H13 steel is alloyed with Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium to deliver high hot strength and wear resistance. Chromium enhances hardenability and resistance to softening, while Molybdenum improves high-temperature strength and thermal fatigue resistance. Vanadium refines grain structure and improves wear resistance, making H13 suitable for long service life in hot work environments.
