Abstract An investigation has been performed on the effect of high temperature thermomechanical treatment (HTMT) on the mechanical properties, especially strength and toughness of AISI H13 hot work tool steel. The experimental results showed that HTMT increased the strength and toughness of hot work tool steel. 45% deformation at 980℃ increased the yield strength about 9.9% and the impact energy about 60% compared with conventional heat treatment. The improvement is due to the dispersion of fine carbides precipitates within the martensite lath and the refinement of martensite lath size.
