P20 mold steel

P20 mold steel is a widely used low-alloy tool steel, characterized by moderate strength and good toughness. This steel is commonly used for plastic injection mold cavities and tools, as well as zinc die-casting molds. P20 is usually sold in a pre hardened state with a hardness of approximately 300 HBW.

Shell casting offers a number of important advantages.

It permits the creation of very complex, detailed metal components. It offers an excellent way to produce small and medium-sized shapes, especially parts requiring accurate manufacturing.

This form of casting today may occur in highly automated environments; production does not impose a high demand for labor following the creation of the metal pattern.

Since shell casting generates intricate parts repetitively, manufacturers utilizing this process may avoid some manufacturing tooling costs required for other production processes. Fourth, depending upon the raw materials employed, shell casting may result in the creation of very attractive exterior surfaces. Parts may require a minimal investment in finishing, for instance.

Shell casting utilizes raw materials with a high degree of efficiency. Manufacturers who employ this process typically will conserve metals and metal alloys without wasting these assets. As with many other forms of casting, when a work piece fails to meet required specifications, a manufacturer can simply re-melt it and re-use the constituent raw materials.

Since this casting process lends itself to automation in high volume production environments, it permits companies to generate large quantities of metal parts rapidly. The production of expendable shell molds may occur repetitively. While a manufacturer will eventually need to replace the metal pattern, that cost arises infrequently.

D2 tool steelPerformance and Application of D2 Tool SteelD2 tool steel

D2 tool steel is a versatile high carbon, high chromium, air hardened tool steel characterized by relatively high hardness and a microstructure containing a large amount of large chromium rich alloy carbides. These carbides have good wear resistance when in sliding contact with other metals and abrasives. Although there are other steels with higher toughness or wear resistance to choose from, D2 offers an effective combination of wear resistance and toughness, tool performance, price, and various product forms.
Usage: Molds, shearing knives, food processing knives, and measuring tools used for rollers, punches, material dropping, forming, trimming, and wire rolling

Characteristics of AISI 4140 composite steel

SATM 4140 corresponding grades: German42CrMo4, China42CrMo。

SATM 4140 is a chromium molybdenum alloy steel widely used as a universal high-strength steel for manufacturing shafts, shafts, bolts, gears, and other components.

Characteristics of SAE4340 steel

SAE 4340 steel is typically delivered in two states, namely pre hardened state (quenched and tempered) and annealed state.
In the pre hardened state, SAE 4340 has good strength, toughness, fatigue resistance, and impact toughness. In the annealed state, the surface hardness of SAE 4340 is usually lower and easier to machine.

What is A36 round steel?

A36 steel round bar is a hot-rolled low-carbon steel solid round bar, which is an ideal choice for all general manufacturing, production, and maintenance. Steel circles are widely used in industrial maintenance, agricultural tools, transportation equipment, decorative iron products, fences, artworks, etc. This steel shape is easy to weld, cut, shape, and drill with appropriate equipment and knowledge. Our factory stocks a variety of sizes of steel wheels at wholesale prices, including pre cut and rolled lengths that can be shipped, or we can customize cutting sizes for you to produce small or large quantities of products.
