This article gives you a talk about p20 plastic mold steel, and p20 plastic mold steel corresponding knowledge points, I hope to help you.
P20 is a pre-hardened plastic die steel, American grade. Standard: AISI-p20 GS-2311 ASSAB-618. Pre-hardened plastic die steel. Widely used in China, factory hardness HRC30~42, suitable for large and medium-sized precision molds, suitable for long-term production of high-quality plastic molds. This steel has good machinability and can be generally polished.
Plastic die steel is mainly represented by P, which is divided into five categories. Carburized plastic die steel: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6. The carbon content of this kind of steel is very low, mainly in the early United States and the extrusion molding method, which requires good cold plasticity, high extrusion performance, surface carburizing and quenching after forming to improve the surface hardness and long service life.
Plastic mold: P20, P21. At present, the amount of P20 in plastic molds is very large, and it has become the main body, most of which are used in the pre-hard state. Medium carbon alloy tool steels are used for thermosetting plastic molds. Steel numbers are H13, while L2 and S7, O1 and A2 are also used. Stainless steel is used for plastic molds with high corrosion resistance requirements, and the main steel numbers are 420,414 L, 440,416.
P20 die steel has been pre-hardened to 285-330HB (30-36HRC), the hardness after quenching can reach 50-52HRC, in order to prevent cracking should be immediately 200℃ low temperature tempering treatment, after tempering, hardness can be maintained above 48HRC.
Nitriding treatment
Nitriding treatment can obtain high hardness surface tissue, surface hardness of 650-700HV (57-60HRC) after nitriding mold life can reach more than 1 million times, the nitriding layer has dense tissue, smooth characteristics, mold release and resistance to wet air and alkali corrosion performance improved.
