V’1.2312 40CrMnMoS8-6 P20+S 0.35-0.45 0.20-0.50 1.30-1.60 Max 0,025 0,10-0,50 1.80-2.10 0.15-0.25

Material Properties

  • Very good machinability even if it is prehardened.
  • Perfect for gun drilling and rapid drilling
  • Perfect for fast milling
  • Great hardness homogeneity along the cross-section area up to 300 mm thickness.
  • Not suitable for mirror polishing, texturing
  • Weak weldability
  • The recommended working hardness is the delivery hardness.
  • Good nitriding ability.

Applications

  • All kind frames and holders for molds and dies
  • Plastic injection mould cores and cavities (not cosmetic parts)
  • Plastic injection mould cores (not cosmetic sides)
  • Die casting die holders
  • Machinery equipment.
  • Wearing Plates.
