H-13 is a chromium-molybdenum hot-work tool steel known for its toughness, good red hardness, and resistance to thermal fatigue. Drill rod in this grade is commonly used by machinists, toolmakers, and die makers to fabricate punches, dies, pins, and custom cutting tools. The air hardening characteristic means this steel achieves full hardness when cooled in still air after austenitizing, reducing the risk of distortion and cracking compared to oil or water hardening grades. At 0.13 pounds, the bar is lightweight and easy to handle at the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH-13 drill rod at this diameter is suited for precision toolroom applications in both job-shop and production environments. Typical uses include the fabrication of small punches, ejector pins, arbors, and fixture components where moderate heat resistance and good wear performance are required. The 36-inch bar length is a standard stock length that allows multiple parts to be cut from a single piece, minimizing scrap. This product is intended for use by professional machinists and toolmakers who will perform their own heat treatment and finishing operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH-13 chromium-molybdenum hot-work tool steel with air hardening heat treatment characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.125 inches diameter provides a compact cross-section suitable for small punches, pins, and custom tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 inches bar length gives ample stock for cutting multiple workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAir hardening grade reduces distortion risk during heat treatment compared to water or oil hardening alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.13 pounds for easy handling and bench work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard stock drill rod for use in general toolroom applications requiring H-13 air hardening tool steel at 0.125 inches diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting and machining of tool steel drill rod should be performed by a qualified machinist using appropriate cutting tools and coolant. Heat treatment to achieve desired hardness should follow established austenitizing and air cooling procedures for H-13 tool steel and be performed by qualified personnel. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or heat treating steel bar stock. Confirm dimensional requirements before cutting, as material cannot be returned to original length once machined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: H-13 Air Hardening Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700961870130,"sku":"08300","price":45.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/721dadaf1dade1f514b43adbadc1079b_379651e5-1922-428e-a965-d1d9a0b83a1a.jpg?v=1788395928","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-08300-h-13-tool-steel-drill-rod-1-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
