Formadur 2738 Steel

Formadur 2738 Steel

Steel name: Formadur 2738
Diagram No.: 2368
Mat.No. (Wr.Nr.) designation: 1.2378
AISI/SAE designation: P20+Ni
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.40% C, 1.50% Mn, 1.90% Cr, 0.20% Mo, 1.00% Ni
Steel group: Plastic mould steels
Properties: Pre-hardened plastic mould steel, hardness in as-delivered condition 280 to 325 HB. Good machinability, suitable for texturing, improved through hardening in comparison to Formadur 2711, good polishability.
Applications: Large plastic moulds with deep engravings and intensive impacts on the core. Formadur 2738 is the logical development of Formadur 2311, a pre-hardened plastic mould steel for use in large moulds, which also have to display high core strength. The additional nickel content of 1 % increases through hardening. Formadur 2738 ia a micro-alloyed, vacuum-degassed steel with the following excellent features: good machinability, outstanding polishability, good texturing properties.
