Bohler-Uddeholm P20 PREMIUM MODIFIED Pre-hardened Mold Steel

Cr-Mo alloyed steelP20 Modified offers the following benefits:No hardening risksNo hardening costsTime saving, e.g. no waiting for heat treatmentLower tool cost (e.g. no distortion to rectify)Modifications easily carried outCan be subsequently nitrided to increase surface wear resistance or locally flame hardened to reduce surface damage.Manufactured to consistently high quality standards, P20 modified has good polishing and texturing properties, good machinability and uniformed hardness.Heavier sections are supplied premachined which offers the following advantages compared with unmachined material:Saving of weightNon-decarburized surfaceExact nominal size (plus tolerance)Less machiningAbsence of scale minimizes machine and tool wearApplications:For large injection and compression moldsExtrusion dies for thermoplasticsBlow moldHigh strength holders, plates and bolstersForming tools, press-brake dies (possibly flame hardened or nitrided)Aluminum die casting prototype diesZinc die casting diesLong run die shoesStructural components, shafts.
