AISI P20
P20 is a pre-hardened mold steel widely used for large plastic injection molds and die casting applications. Supplied in a pre-hardened condition (28–34 HRC), P20 eliminates the need for further heat treatment in most applications, allowing direct machining to final dimensions.
P20 is a pre-hardened mold steel specifically designed for large plastic injection molds and die casting applications. With a pre-hardened condition of 28–34 HRC, this grade eliminates the need for further heat treatment in most applications, enabling direct machining to final dimensions and significantly reducing production lead times.
Known for its excellent machinability, polishability, and uniform hardness throughout the cross-section, P20 is well-suited for large mold frames, holders, and structural mold components. It also offers good weldability for mold repair and can be nitrided for improved surface hardness in demanding applications.
P20 mold steel is supplied in flat, square, and round bars of all standard and custom sizes.
