Special alloy steel - Germany >>

  • 1.2738
  • Application : 1GENERAL:
    - uniform hardness across the cross-section
    - very good polishability - good machinability
    - hardenable and temperable plastic mould steel
    - nitridable - suitable for chrome plating

    APPLICATIONS:
    Die steel for plastic moulds with a thickness of about 400 mm plus, if uniform hardness, elevated toughness and polishability is required in the contour as well. Moulds for TV housings and rear walls, copier housings; shock-absorber moulds; moulds for dashboards and large outside body parts; waste bin moulds; pressure casting frames

  • GEST 80® VICTORY ESR
  • Application : GEST 80® VICTORY ESR
    GEST 80® is a precipitation or age-hardened mould steel with a uniform through hardness of approximately 40 HRC. It is a very clean steel with uniform grain structure, uniform hardness, and excellent dimensional stability.

    UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS:
    40 HRC hardness ; age-hardened for uniformity of hardness throughout, even in heavy sections ; possibility of repair welding ; machining speed increase by 10-20% against typical plastic mould steels (f.i. P20) ; never needs stress relieving, even after heavy machining ; possibility of nitriding; polishability high gloss


    DELIVERY CONDITION :
    Age-Hardened with approx. 40 HRC
