Plastic Mold Steels P20+Ni | DIN 2738 | AISI P20+Ni

DIN 2738 which is applicable for large & small plastic mold dies for Automotive Industries, Dies for Domestic goods , High finishing plastic Die, Boaster Plates of Presses, Die Holders & Shoe blocks for drop Hammers, Press Cassettes , Up setter Blocker, forging dies, Different dies & mold for plastic products etc.

Although less expensive options such as Aluminum exist for making molds to be used for shaping plastic, steel is most often the optimum one. It may be impose more investment to begin with but this is offset by its undoubtedly greater operational life and better finish. Also the specialized steels that have been created for plastic molding make for rapid process speed – for any duration it can handle more repetitions than other materials and so enhance productivity.

din2738
Plastic Mold Steel – Din 1.2738

Steel properties as given below, however, have to be optimally matched to the specific application and these are:

  • Degree of purity
  • Polishability
  • Uniformity of hardness and microstructure
  • Wear resistance
  • Temperature resistance
  • Machinability
  • Toughness and hardness
  • Thermal conductivity

The Nickel component contributes uniform hardness and structure, improves machinability and a polish that is easy to maintain.

This makes 1.2738 mold steel the ideal material for relatively low temperature applications such as die casting dies and injection molds, synthetic plastic molds dies, and especially for large plastic molds that are easily stressed at their core. They are also ideal for hydroforming tools. DIN 1.2738 is suitable for nitriding and chrome plating.

It is the preferred material for molds shaping plastic products such as automobile bumpers and TV shells. And also for molds for rubber products that are based on both hard rubber (PS) and ultra-hardened rubber (ABS). It is excellent in its processing performance, easy cutting and imparting finish to the end product. It resists electrical corrosion.

It is most cost effective when used for high-volume plastic molding such as TV set bodies, laptop bodies, plastic parts for home appliances and automotive parts and any such where finish is important.

As Virat Special Steels inform us, DIN 1.2738 tool steel is usually supplied as pre-hardened/quenched and tempered to 280 – 320 HB hardness. Still, after machining if the need arises, they can be annealed by first heating to 710°C and after the temperature gap between core and surface has narrowed to 740 °C for about 2 to 5 hours; followed by cooling slowly at the rate of 10 to 20 °C per hour to about 600 °C before further air cooling.

Hardening is conducted in the temperature range of 840-870°C to be followed by immediate quenching in oil/hot bath/air to a temperature between 180 to 220°C. Hardness after quenching is around 52 HRC.

Two rounds of tempering are required immediately after such hardening and the heating to tempering temperature must be gradual. Higher temperatures result in steel with lower hardness values (700°C results in an HRc of barely 30 while tempering at 250°C will result in HRc of 50). The duration of tempering at the chosen temperature should correspond to 1 hour per 20 mm of thickness.

They are usually supplied as Round Bar of diameter ranging from 20mm to 1000mm or as Plate or Block of thickness ranging from 12-500mm x width 200-2000mm. Generally black on the surface, they can be customized for clients in Roughly Machined, Peeled or Turned condition.

H13 hot work steels for Dies and Moulds

H13 ( DIN 2344 ) hot work steel has found profound resonance in the manufacturing industry that readily relies on it for its dies and moulds requirements. This steel grade has been specifically developed with the prime objective of letting it sustain the demands that are intrinsic to the production of molded products. Virat Special Steels is the leading Merchant, importer and exporter of H13 steels and offers a diversified choice as per the suitability of the client.

H13 Steel

Why H13 is the preferred choice?

The physical characteristics of H13 steel are derived from the distinct make and composition of it. The concentration and ratios of different components need to be ensured as required so that the desirable attributes are secured. Failing the same, the molding dies may never deliver as per standards. Apart from maintaining specific composition, other processes are also adhered to like annealing and tempering of the steel. H13 steel is forged at 1079 degree centigrade while the minimum forging threshold prescribed for it is 898 degree centigrade. Annealing is done at 871 degree centigrade and tempering of it is performed in the thermal range of 538 – 649 degree centigrade. These processes ensure that high tensile strength and elasticity is generated through the micro arraying of the components in the most even manner.

In fact micro structure of H13 steel is directly responsible for the characteristics that make it the preferred choice as for making hot injection molding, Forging, Extrusion dies etc. The thermal resistance that it offers as regards temperature variation during the injection of material is much superior as compared to other tools and dies steels in the hot work steel category. Virat Special Steels is a pioneer in the manufacture of H13 steel based products including all kinds of dies and moulds and ensures the optimized value by maintaining strict standards.

High applicative value of H13

With the molding and dies applications growing multifold in the manufacturing economy around the world, H13 has emerged as the top choice. Not only for the hot working but it is also being actively used as cold working steel for tools and moulds. However, it is its capacity to withstand the wear and thermal induced corrosion that 2344 steel has felt wider acceptance in the hot injection molding and tooling applications in manufacturing enterprises. It allows long term use with little maintenance while the finesse and polishing potential that is carries for the finished product is of high standard too. This directly impacts the cost of the final product to be sent in market and ensures economy in production.

Further the ability to offer custom H13 products/moulds can increase productivity for companies that are engaged in making specialized products. www.h13steel.in / Viratsteels.com is a specialty manufacturer of H13 steels and offers highly versatile customized products to Indian and international clients.

What is PLASTIC MOULD STEEL?

Plastic Mould Steels are characterised by good dimensional stability during heating, good polishability, high impact strength and good wear characteristics. This steel is an alloy of iron and nickel with a minimum of 10% carbon. It is used to make plastic moulds and dies, as well as castings for various purposes.

Plastic mould steel has a low coefficient of expansion, which makes it ideal for use in the cold environment of a plastic mould. It also has good machinability. The alloy has good weldability and can be easily worked without cracking due to its high strength.

Plastic mould steel is one of the most common materials used in manufacturing. This type of steel is commonly used to make products that are at risk of being damaged or destroyed by heat, such as food cans, drink bottles and food packaging.

Plastic mould steel is not just a good material for these products, but it can also be used for other purposes including: furniture construction, fencing, car parts and industrial components.

Plastic Mould Steel is an alloy of carbon, silicon, manganese and phosphorous. It has a high strength and ductility, with good fracture toughness properties. The addition of phosphorus gives it very good resistance to cold working. This material is usually used in complex machine parts where precision is required. It can be cast or forged.

DIN 1.2738

Plastic Mould Steel is a type of steel that is used in many manufacturing processes. It is also used to make rubber and plastic moulds, which are then used to create products such as tools and toys. Plastic Mould Steel has many advantages over other types of steel. It can be formed into shapes that are difficult or impossible to achieve with other types of steel, and it can be used in high-temperature applications without being damaged by harsh conditions or chemicals.
