    H-13 vs. S-5

    Nothing larger than 1".

    H-13 vs. S-5

    The smallest tolerance would be +- 0.005 on all of the diameters.

    H-13 vs. S-5

    As of right now the H-13 (heat treated) tips are used in a wide variety of plastics, temperatures, and machines. H-13 has been used for years at this company and it (the company) is resistant to change. S-5 wear resistance is a concern, but if it is off set by the cost/manufacture of the tip...

    H-13 vs. S-5

    46-48 Rockwell C for both. Most likely both will be heat treated in some way, shape, or form.

    H-13 vs. S-5

    The reason for the change will be purely cost. A vendor received a load of S-5 and will cut us a good price for the transition, with comparison to the H-13. Temperature range would be from 200-550F.

    H-13 vs. S-5

    Can anyone give me some pros and cons for switching from h-13 to S-5? This particular application will be for nozzle tips for injection molding. Thanks
