Forged Mold Steel H13 Crushing Roll for Scrap Steel Crusher

H13 Forged Scrap Steel Crushing Roll is the core wear-resistant component in the scrap steel recycling and crushing line. Manufactured from AISI H13 hot work tool steel (equivalent to DIN 1.2344 and Chinese grade 4Cr5MoSiV1) through strict forging and heat treatment, it features high hardness, excellent toughness and thermal fatigue resistance,distinguishing it from ordinary 42CrMo/35CrMo steel rolls and cast crushing rolls.

Why Choose H13?

In the field of scrap steel crushing, the working environment is usually characterized by high impact, high wear, and even high temperatures.


Core Chemical composition


C 0.32-0.45% Ensure hardness and strength
Si 0.8-1.2%
Strengthen the matrix, heat fatigue resistance
Mn 0.2-0.5% Deoxidation and improvement of hardenability
Cr 4.75-5.5% Hardenability, high temperature oxidation resistance, wear resistance
Mo 1.1-1.75% High temperature strength, resistance to tempering softening
V 0.8-1.2% Refine grain size, wear resistance, and heat cracking resistance
P/S ≤0.03% Impurities, strict control of brittleness


Red Hardness

H13 can maintain high hardness and wear resistance at around 600°C, making it suitable for crushing rolls and hammer heads under high-speed impact.


Thermal Fatigue Resistance
During scrap steel crushing, the surface temperature of components rises and falls sharply. H13 can effectively prevent cracking (thermal cracking) caused by thermal stress.


Toughness

Compared with cemented carbide or high-chromium cast iron, forged H13 offers better toughness. It can resist impacts from large irregular metals in scrap steel and avoid chipping or fracture.


Advantages of Forging Process

  • Elimination of as‑cast defects: Cast H13 is prone to porosity, shrinkage and chemical segregation. Forging can break up coarse eutectic carbides and make their distribution more uniform.


  • Density: Forging improves material density and eliminates potential internal micro‑cracks.


  • Anisotropy control: Properly distributed forging flow lines align the stress direction of the crushing roll with the fiber direction during service, greatly improving impact resistance and spalling resistance.

Production Procedure

Raw Material & Smelting

  • Preferred electroslag remelting (ESR) H13 ingot to reduce inclusions and segregation;

  • Secondary refining + vacuum degassing to ensure uniform chemical composition.


Forging Process 

  • Preheating: holding at 800–900°C to prevent internal cracks caused by poor thermal conductivity;

  • Initial forging: 1065–1120°C; final forging temperature ≥850°C, overburning strictly prohibited;

  • Multi‑pass upsetting and drawing with total forging ratio ≥4 (≥5 for large roll diameters) to break up carbides and form continuous metal flow lines;

  • Mandatory slow cooling after forging (pit cooling / furnace cooling), followed by prompt normalizing + high‑temperature tempering to eliminate residual stress.


Heat Treatment

  • Two‑stage preheating → austenitizing at 1020–1050°C → marquenching  → double tempering at approx. 560°C (≥2 h each) to stabilize microstructure and hardness;

  • Cryogenic treatment optional to further reduce retained austenite.


Surface Strengthening

  • Roll surface: hardfacing with tungsten carbide (WC) / high‑chromium alloy, laser cladding, nitriding / nitrocarburizing;


Finish Machining
  • High‑precision grinding, controlling coaxiality, cylindricity and runout to meet assembly and meshing clearance requirements.

Heat Treatment Process 


Conventional Process

Vacuum quenching + multiple tempering is typically adopted.


Hardness Selection

  • For light scrap steel (thin-gauge scrap, automotive shells):

    Hardness is usually controlled at HRC 48–52, balancing wear resistance and toughness.

  • For cast scrap, high-hardness scrap steel:

    Toughness is prioritized, so hardness is appropriately reduced to HRC 45–48.


Surface Treatment

Some high-end crushing rolls, after forging and heat treatment, are applied with a surface hardfacing layer or laser cladding (e.g., tungsten carbide cladding). This greatly improves surface wear resistance by several times while maintaining the toughness of the base material.


Application

Heavy duty scrap steel crusher and double shaft shredder are used to process hard metals such as automotive dismantling materials, steel sections, steel plate scraps, and industrial scrap iron, especially suitable for continuous and high load crushing operations.
