Description
This steel is in the category generally labeled as Mold Steels. Nickel and chromium are the alloying elements for hardness and toughness. Cold work tool steel with good machinability, excellent polishability, suitable for texturing. Improved through hardenability comapred to Mat.No. 1.2311.
Applications
Typically used for relatively low temperature applications such as die casting dies and injection molds, synthetic plastic moulds dies, for large moulds.

Soft Annealing
Heat to 710-740
oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 235.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to
650
oC, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 840-880
oC followed by oil, air ot warm bath
(180-220
oC) quenching. Hardness after quenching is 52 HRC.
