Value Collection LR.75X36 H13 Tool Steel Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LR.75X36 is an H13 tool steel round rod measuring 0.75 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. H13 is a chromium-molybdenum hot-work tool steel widely specified for tooling, dies, punches, and fixtures that must withstand repeated thermal cycling and mechanical stress. This rod ships with a mill finish and is produced decarb free, meaning the surface layer has not been depleted of carbon during the manufacturing process. That decarb-free condition is critical when machinists or tool-and-die makers need reliable surface hardness without additional stock removal before heat treating or final grinding.

This rod is suited for machine shops, tool rooms, and fabrication facilities working on hot-work tooling applications such as die casting dies, extrusion tooling, forging dies, and injection mold components. The 36-inch bar length is a standard stock length that works with most horizontal band saws and manual lathes for cut-to-length operations. Machinists purchasing for prototype or short-run tooling will find the single-piece package quantity straightforward for controlled inventory.

Key Features

• H13 chromium-molybdenum hot-work tool steel for high thermal fatigue resistance
• Decarb-free condition preserves surface carbon content for consistent hardness after heat treatment
• Mill finish as-supplied for standard machining and grinding operations
• 0.75 inch diameter round bar profile ready for lathe, mill, or saw operations
• 36-inch overall length provides a practical stock length for typical tooling cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard stock round bar for hot-work tooling, die making, and fixture fabrication applications requiring H13 tool steel in a 0.75-inch diameter form.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of tool steel rod should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die professionals using appropriate cutting fluids and carbide or high-speed steel tooling rated for tool steel grades. Secure workpieces firmly in a vise or chuck before cutting to prevent movement. If heat treatment is planned after machining, consult the material manufacturer's recommended austenitizing and tempering parameters for H13 to achieve the target hardness. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding steel bar stock.
