Plastic mold steels are commonly used to make plastic molds directly. Since these steels are already tempered to a hardness of 28-36 HRC before being shaped into molds, it helps prevent deformities and cracks that might arise from subsequent heat treatments.
Popular plastic mould steel grades are P20 (1.2311), P20+S (1.2312), P20+Ni (1.2738), 420 (1.2083), 1.2085, NAK80, S136 etc.
HIGH SPEED STEEL
What is high speed steel ? It’s this bunch of tool steel alloys that got their name because they can slice through materials way faster than the old-school high-carbon steels that were used in cutting tools before.
The very common steel high speed grades are
M2 (1.3343), M35 (1.3243), M42 (1.3247), T1 (1.3355), M50 etc.
HOT WORK TOOL STEEL
Hot work tool steels are designed for high-temperature tasks and with strength, wear resistance, and resilience.
In ASTM A681 standard, there are “H” Hot Work Tool Steel Series from H. Like H10,H11, H12, H13, H14,H19,H21 H22,H23,H24,H25,H26, H42 Steel. The most popular one is H13 (1.2344) and H11 (1.2343) steel.
COLD WORKS TOOL STEEL
Under the ASTM Steel standard, Cold Work Tool Steel primarily encompasses the “W” series (Water Hardening), “O” series (Oil Hardening), “A” series (Medium Alloy Air Hardening), and “D” series (High Carbon, High Chromium) Tool Steels. Examples of steel grades include: W1, W2, W5; O1 (DIN 1.2510), O2 (DIN 1.2842), O6, O7; A2 through A11; and AISI D2 (DIN 1.2379), AISI D3 (DIN 1.2080), D4, D5, D7, among others.
PLASTIC MOLD STEEL
Plastic mold steels are commonly used to make plastic molds directly. Since these steels are already tempered to a hardness of 28-36 HRC before being shaped into molds, it helps prevent deformities and cracks that might arise from subsequent heat treatments.
Popular plastic mould steel grades are P20 (1.2311), P20+S (1.2312), P20+Ni (1.2738), 420 (1.2083), 1.2085, NAK80, S136 etc.
