Plastic Mold Tool Steel Bar Prehardening QT Round Bar P20 / 1.2311 / 3Cr2Mo
P20/ 1.2311/ 3Cr2Mo Plastic Mold Steel Prehardening QT Round Bar
P20 mould steel is a common alloy tool steel which usually supplied in QT condition. The 1.2311 steel can give an excellent polished finish. DIN 40CrMnMo7 tool steel is one of the most widely used material for machine cut plastic moulds. This grade also provides excellent wear resistance.
