Plastic Mould Steel Block Description

Product Name Plastic Mould Steel Block

Material High-Quality Steel Specifically Designed for Plastic Moulding Applications

Common Grades

- P20 A common grade of plastic mould steel known for its good machinability and hardness.

- P21 Similar to P20 but often used for more demanding applications due to slight differences in alloying elements.

- H13 A tool steel known for high hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance, used for high-performance moulds.

- 420 A stainless steel variant with good corrosion resistance and hardness.

Specifications

- Dimensions Available in various sizes and shapes, such as blocks, plates, and billets. Custom sizes may be available.

- Surface Finish Typically supplied in a rough, as-rolled, or machined finish, depending on requirements.

Properties

- Hardness Generally high, ensuring durability and resistance to wear and deformation. Hardness values may vary depending on the grade and heat treatment.

- Tensile Strength High tensile strength to withstand the pressures and stresses involved in the moulding process.

- Machinability Good machinability for precision engineering and tooling. Some grades are specifically designed to be easy to machine.

- Thermal Conductivity Depending on the grade, may have high thermal conductivity to help manage heat during the moulding process.

Key Features

- Durability Designed to endure the high pressures and temperatures typical of plastic moulding operations.

- Wear Resistance High wear resistance to extend the life of the mould and maintain high-quality output.

- Heat Resistance Certain grades like H13 offer excellent heat resistance, crucial for high-temperature moulding applications.

- Corrosion Resistance Some grades, such as stainless steel variants, offer improved resistance to corrosion.
