P20 Tool Steel Data Sheet

Lss p20 mold steel is a versatile low alloy tool steel that is characterized by good toughness at moderate strength levels.

P20 tool steel data sheet.

Supplied hardness of 321 352 hb 34 38 hrc. The steel is commonly used for plastic injection mold cavities and tooling and for die casting dies for zinc. Press forming dies for small production jigs and tools. Download this datasheet as pdf p20 is a plastic mould steel that is usually supplied in a hardened and tempered condition.

High speed steel to prevent from abrasion. It has the wear resistance and highly polishable surface needed to fabricate long lasting molds and dies. Astm p20 typical composition. Material is forged on a 5000 ton press assuring maximum deformation during the forging process.

Hardness loss in large cross sections is minimal. P20 steel round bar sheet plate has many excellent properties. P20 is often supplied in the hardened and tempered condition ready for machining. After it has been processed through the forged 1 2311 steel becomes dense.

In the pre hardened status the mold can be processed without any heat treatment. Special melting and refining practices are utilized to produce a uniform product with exceptional cleanliness. Plastic moulds frames for plastic pressure dies hydroforming tools. Furnished hardened p20 tool steel is strong and easy to machine.

Which cut down the running period and improves efficiency. P 20 high hard is an improved pre hardened mold steel that has been specially designed for large plastic molds. Dies for deep drawing. Exhibiting good machinability with better polishability compared to 1 2312 aisi p20 s.

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. The steel is commonly used for plastic injection mold cavities and tooling and for die casting dies for zinc. And it also is called din 1 2311 and scm4 steel. These characteristics allow p 20 to be polished to an extremely high finish required for plastic molding.

Steel for ame hardening resulting in high hardness and small strain even with air quenched. This grade is not suitable for polishing or other applications requiring a fine finish. P20 is typically sold in the pre hardened condition at a hardness of approximately 300 hbw. P20 is an alloy tool steel which offers good machineability even in the hardened and tempered brinell 300 condition.

P20 mold steel is a versatile low alloy tool steel that is characterized by good toughness at moderate strength levels. Similar to p20 1 2311 but with a higher sulpher content which provides much improved machinability. P20s 1 2312 delivered pre hardened this material is ready for use at approximately 280 325 h b. This steel gives an excellent polished finish and is one of the most widely accepted specifications for machine cut plastic moulds and casting dies.
