P20 (1.2311) Tool Steel
P20 (1.2311) Tool Steel – a pre-hardened mould steel offering excellent machinability, toughness, and polishability for plastic injection moulds and die-casting tools.
P20 (1.2311) Tool Steel
P20 tool steel stockholders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the middle east. Supreme Steel are stockholders and suppliers of P20 tool steel round bar, flat bar and plate. P20 is an alloy tool steel which offers good machineability even in the hardened and tempered (Brinell 300) condition. This steel gives an excellent polished finish and is one of the most widely accepted specifications for machine cut plastic moulds and casting dies. P20 is often supplied in the hardened and tempered condition ready for machining. In this condition it gives excellent wear resistance but if maximum surface hardness is required for compression moulding plastic dies or similar tools, the steel can be case hardened or nitrided. For better machinability a higher sulphur version P20S is available.
