Do you know a web site which will discuss these in depth in terms of their characteristics and uses?
Or can you recommend a book for the same purpose?

RE: Information: Steel Types 1.2344, 1.2365 and 1.4542
the grades you listed are:
1.2344 - H 13
1.2365 - H 10
1.4542 - 17-4 PH
1.2344/1.2365 are standard grades of hot work tool steel. 1.4542 is a precipitation hardening stainless steel.
I imagine you can get some information from producers websites in the US.
You should be able to get some info
If you cant find anything ill let you have some books names.

Richard

For references, you cannot beat ASM International. In addition to ASM Handbook Volume 1 (steels) and Volume 4 (heat treating), they offer several others focused only on tool steels. Use the following link for more information:
