1.2312 Steel: Prehardened Mold Steel You Need to Know
What is 1.2312 steel?
1.2312 steel is a kind of hard plastic model steel with high abrasion resistance, high hardness and high hardness, and it has about 0.08% sulfur added on the basis of 1.2311 steel, and it has excellent performance. It is used in many fields such as mold manufacturing, automated machinery and auto parts.
What is the steel equivalent of 1.2312?
DIN 1.2312 steel equivalent to ASTM P20+S, GB 4Cr2Mn1MoS / GB 40CrMnMoS 8-6.
What is the composition of 1.2312 steel?
The main components of 1.2312 materials include carbon, silicon, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium and vanadium and other elements. It is a chromium-nickel-molybdenum tool steel, in which the content of chromium and nickel is high, which improves the hardness and corrosion resistance of 1.2312 steel, and a small amount of molybdenum is added to improve its strength and toughness. The ratio and content of these chemical elements affect the performance of 1.2312 materials. For example, too high silicon content will also increase the brittleness and cracking tendency of 1.2312, so the silicon content needs to be properly controlled.
What is the hardness of 1.2312 steel?
Through technological breakthroughs, we have carried out a special pre-hardening production process on 1.2312 steel, and its hardness can reach above 28HRC. Its machinability is best at 40HRC, and it can be used for advanced grinding. And its hardness after heat treatment can reach 50.7HRC.
