P20+Ni steel


P20 +Ni is the upgraded  version of plastic mould  steel 2311, which is normally supply in  the pre hardened condition. Hardness in as supplied condition is 280-320 HB.  Additional nickel content of 1 % gets  increased through hardening. P20 +Ni is micro-alloyed. P20 +Ni is a  hot rolled, pre-hardened &tempered black surface steel with hardness 30-36HRC.     Characteristics
  • appropriate sharpening
  • photo-etching properties with top purity
  • good homogeneity
  • good machinability
  • suitable  for Texturing
  • good  polishability
  • vacuum-degassed steel
  • adequate corrosion resistance
  • uniform hardness across the cross-section
  • hardenable and temperable plastic mouls steel
  • suitable for chrome plating
  • nitridable
