About P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat

Steel World is stockiest, supplier,dealer and manufacturer of the P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat.The 1.2738 Flat Bars, also known as P20+Ni Flats, are a type of plastic mold tool steel primarily used for plastic injection die molds. Here are the key details:

Composition: DIN 1.2738 steel contains alloying elements such as nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, which contribute to hardness and toughness.
Enhanced Version: It can be seen as an enhanced version of the 1.2311 alloy, with 1% nickel content positively affecting hardenability.
Machinability and Polishability: The steel is machinable, polishable, and suitable for texturing.
Applications:
- Used for relatively low-temperature applications, including die casting dies, injection molds, and synthetic plastic molds.
- Especially suitable for large plastic molds subjected to high stress in the core.
- Nitriding and chrome plating are possible.
Equivalent Grades:
- German (DIN): 40CrMnNiMo8-6-4
- USA (ASTM/AISI): P20+Ni

Superior Machinability

Engineered for optimal machinability, P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat enables effortless shaping and finishing, making it suitable for intricate tooling designs. The fine, homogeneous grain structure ensures stability and dimension accuracy, allowing manufacturers and fabricators in India to achieve superior results with minimal tool wear.

Consistent Hardness and Shock Resistance

Supplied pre-hardened with uniform hardness across the thickness, P20 offers reliable performance in demanding environments. Its high shock resistance makes it an excellent choice for tooling that experience repetitive impact, while low distortion during machining ensures consistent, precision parts in every operation.

FAQ's of P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat:

Q: How does the excellent machinability of P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat benefit manufacturers?

A: The superior machinability permits fast, accurate cutting and shaping of the steel, reducing tooling time and improving surface finish quality. This efficiency directly benefits manufacturers by lowering production costs and minimizing downtime.

Q: What applications are most suitable for P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat in India?

A: This steel grade is highly suitable for mold making, die casting components, tooling plates, and engineering parts where uniform hardness, pre-hardened properties, and low machining distortion are required.

Q: When is it recommended to use P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat over other tool steels?

A: It is best used when immediate use is necessary without additional hardening, or when high machinability and dimensional stability are critical, such as in pre-hardened tooling and mold bases.

Q: Where can I source P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat in India?

A: This steel is widely available through dealers, distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers across India. Many service providers and wholesalers also supply it for both small-scale and industrial requirements.

Q: What process ensures the uniform hardness and reduced distortion in P20 Steel Grade 1.2738 Flat?

A: Precision ground finishing combined with full homogeneity and fine grain structure leads to consistent hardness and minimal distortion throughout the material, guaranteeing accuracy in machined components.

Q: How does being pre-hardened and fully homogeneous benefit usage and longevity?

A: The pre-hardened, homogeneous nature ensures that the steel provides instant readiness for machining and fabrication, alongside long-term dimensional reliability and resistance to wear and fatigue during extensive use.
