P20 Tool Steel Data Sheet

P20s 1 2312 delivered pre hardened this material is ready for use at approximately 280 325 h b.

P20 tool steel data sheet.

P20 is often supplied in the hardened and tempered condition ready for machining. High speed steel to prevent from abrasion. Press forming dies for small production jigs and tools. P20 mold steel is a versatile low alloy tool steel that is characterized by good toughness at moderate strength levels.

Special melting and refining practices are utilized to produce a uniform product with exceptional cleanliness. Astm p20 typical composition. After it has been processed through the forged 1 2311 steel becomes dense. Hardness loss in large cross sections is minimal.

Plastic moulds frames for plastic pressure dies hydroforming tools. Dies for deep drawing. Exhibiting good machinability with better polishability compared to 1 2312 aisi p20 s. This steel gives an excellent polished finish and is one of the most widely accepted specifications for machine cut plastic moulds and casting dies.

These characteristics allow p 20 to be polished to an extremely high finish required for plastic molding. High speed steel with high abrasion resistance and toughness for general use. P20 is typically sold in the pre hardened condition at a hardness of approximately 300 hbw. The steel is commonly used for plastic injection mold cavities and tooling and for die casting dies for zinc.

It has the wear resistance and highly polishable surface needed to fabricate long lasting molds and dies. Furnished hardened p20 tool steel is strong and easy to machine. Similar to p20 1 2311 but with a higher sulpher content which provides much improved machinability. P 20 is mold quality alloy steel supplied in the prehardened condition.

Download this datasheet as pdf p20 is a plastic mould steel that is usually supplied in a hardened and tempered condition. The steel is commonly used for plastic injection mold cavities and tooling and for die casting dies for zinc. This grade is not suitable for polishing or other applications requiring a fine finish. Also suitable for other applications such as rails shafts and wear strips data sheet typical analysis available on request see our tool steel application chart.

P20 is an alloy tool steel which offers good machineability even in the hardened and tempered brinell 300 condition. P 20 high hard is an improved pre hardened mold steel that has been specially designed for large plastic molds. And it also is called din 1 2311 and scm4 steel. Steel for ame hardening resulting in high hardness and small strain even with air quenched.

Material is forged on a 5000 ton press assuring maximum deformation during the forging process. In the pre hardened status the mold can be processed without any heat treatment. Supplied hardness of 321 352 hb 34 38 hrc. Which cut down the running period and improves efficiency.
