Overview
Product Details
Corrosion-resistant tool steel with sulphur for plastic molds as well as aggressive plastics and for application fields, where a corrosion resistance, good machinability and good mechanical properties are important. The same properties like 1.2316 with the addition of sulphur. This steel is mainly used in processes with chemically aggressive and acidic thermoplastics, PVC-aminoplastics, plastics for injection mold inserts or for special machine parts in the food industry. Used also in the application field of the automobile industry and machine construction. Characteristics: Weldability: bad Machinability: 6 (1 = very bad - 10 = good) Polishability: no Corrosion class: 2 (0 = weak - 5 = good) Production Round and Flat Size according to customer's requirement Benefit of sawn cuts: The processing with the saw is a mechanical processing of the material, which results in a significantly lower unintended deformation and increased hardness for the existing structure, such as the thermal cutting. Thus, the machined workpiece has a homogeneous structure even at the edge, which does not change in the continuation of the material. This circumstance allows immediate finishing of the workpiece with milling or drilling . So it is not necessary to anneal the material or make a similar operation beforehand.
