P20 STEEL

P20 steel PLATES is a widely used tool steel known for its high toughness, wear resistance, and machinability.

It is commonly used in plastic mold manufacturing, die-casting dies, and injection molds.

Here are some key details about P20 steel PLATES:-

p20 material chemical composition/ Chemical Composition (Typical)

Element Percentage (%)

Carbon (C) 0.28 - 0.40

Chromium (Cr) 1.40 - 2.00

Manganese (Mn) 0.60 - 1.00

Molybdenum (Mo) 0.30 - 0.55

Silicon (Si) 0.20 - 0.80

Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.030

Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.030

Properties of P20 steel PLATES.

• Hardness (Pre-Hardened Condition): 28-32 HRC

• Toughness: High

• Machinability: Good

• Polishability: Excellent

• Heat Treatability: Can be nitrided or carburized for better hardness

• Corrosion Resistance: Moderate

Applications

• Plastic injection molds

• Die casting dies

• Pressing dies

• Blow molds for plastics

• Automotive and aerospace tooling

Heat Treatment

• Annealing: 760-790°C, slow cooling

• Hardening: 840-870°C, followed by oil or air cooling

• Tempering: Typically done at 500-600°C to achieve the desired hardness

Variants

• P20+S: Improved sulfur content for better machinability.

• P20+Ni (P20HH): Higher nickel content for better toughness and uniform hardness.
