View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.AISI Type H19 is a hot-work tool and die steel that is characterized by excellent resistance to shock and abrasion at elevated temperatures. This steel provides relatively high toughness and outstanding resistance to heat checking and softening at elevated temperatures. Among its many applications are hot-punch tools, forging dies and inserts, brass extrusion dies, permanent molds for brass casting and hot-extrusion die inserts for steel.
