1.2738 Tool Steel

1.2738 Tool Steel – a pre-hardened, high-performance mould steel known for excellent polishability, toughness, and uniform hardness across large sections.

1.2738 Tool Steel

1.2738 (40CrMnNiMo 8-6-4) tool steel stockholders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the Middle East. It is specially used for Plastic injection die moulds. The characteristics of a material are right sharpening, photo-etching properties with high purity and good homogeneity. DIN 2738 is upgraded version of plastic mold steel 0f 2311, which normally supply in Pre hardened condition. Hardness in as supplied condition 280-320 HB with having uniform hardness. The additional nickel content of 1 % increases through hardening. It has good machinability, suitable for Texturing, fine polishability, adequate corrosion resistance, vacuum-degassed steel.

We welcome export enquiries for tool steel. Please contact our sales office for further details.

The preheating of measuring and cutting tool steel is spheroid zing annealing, final heat treatment is quenching + low temperature tempering and hardness after heat treatment can reach 60~65HRC. When heat treat tool steel grades consideration should be given to hardening temperature, including ratio of heating, cooling and soaking times which will differ due to factors such as the shape and size of each chemical component. Other considerations during heat treatment include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities.
