Note: When oil quenched, this grade is as vulnerable to cracking and has the same distortional characteristics as an oil hardening tool steel.
h13 is really tough and can still hold alot of its integrity at a red heat. I would not recommend quenching it and let it air cool. We have 2 tools to rotate through for the process.
I did some research a while back on H13 on Carpenter Steel website (very informative website-more info than I needed) and it said that you can cool H13 in water in use and it will not harm the material.
