The Ultimate Solution for Hot Stamping Tools
UH1 steel is the next generation of high-performance tool steel designed specifically for hot stamping applications. In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, maximizing efficiency while reducing tool wear and maintenance costs is essential. UH1 steel is engineered to deliver exceptional hardness and wear resistance, making it the ideal choice for industries requiring superior performance under extreme conditions.
Why Choose UH1 Steel for Your Hot Stamping Tools?
UH1 stands out due to its unique composition, which is tailored to address the growing demand for wear-resistant materials in hot stamping processes. Here’s why UH1 is your go-to choice:
UH1 achieves a hardness of 52-58 HRC, providing unmatched resistance to wear and extending the lifespan of your tools. This increased hardness makes UH1 steel perfect for applications that demand long-lasting performance in high-stress environments.
With its optimized carbide-forming elements, UH1 offers more than double the wear resistance compared to standard steels like RPU. This high level of wear resistance ensures that your tools maintain peak performance, even in environments where friction and heat are constant factors.
UH1 steel is produced using Electro-Slag Remelting (ESR), a process that enhances the macro and micro cleanliness of the steel. This results in fewer impurities, making UH1 a more reliable and durable option for precision-driven industries.

Key Benefits of UH1 Steel
Maximized Hardness
UH1 delivers superior hardness, allowing your tools to withstand the harsh conditions of hot stamping and press hardening without degradation in performance over time.
Double the Wear Resistance
Compared to other industry-standard steels, UH1 provides more than double the wear resistance, which translates to fewer tool replacements, less downtime, and lower overall costs for your operations.
Stable Thermal Conductivity
Despite the significant increase in wear resistance, UH1 retains a similar level of thermal conductivity as its predecessor, Cr7V-L. This ensures that heat is efficiently dissipated during hot stamping, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent tool performance.
Reliability in High-Temperature Environments
UH1 steel excels under extreme conditions, maintaining both its wear resistance and hardness even at elevated temperatures, making it ideal for demanding hot stamping applications.
Applications of UH1 Steel in Hot Stamping
UH1 is the perfect solution for industries that rely on high-performance tools in high-temperature environments. Some typical applications of UH1 steel include:
Hot Stamping Dies
Punches and Shearing Blades
Extrusion Dies
Why UH1 is the Future of Hot Stamping Steel
As industries continue to push the boundaries of performance, UH1 steel is set to revolutionize hot stamping tools. Its superior hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability make it an excellent investment for companies looking to improve tool life and reduce downtime. UH1 steel not only increases the lifespan of your tools but also contributes to overall cost savings by reducing maintenance and replacement needs
