Crucible Steel PDCQ Premium Quality High Toughness H13 Steel
Categories: Metal; Ferrous Metal; Tool Steel

Material Notes: Crucible PDCQ™ is a premium version of H13, manufactured to exceed die casting industry specifications. PDCQ has at least 10 ft. lbs room temperature transverse toughness. Its enhanced toughness promotes die life and minimizes failures due to cracking. Remelted and specially refined, PDCQ is an extremely clean steel which can be polished to a critical finish for injection molds. PDCQ is tested by an independent metallurgical laboratory for certification of the microstructural quality rating and toughness measurements.
