RF (1.2083) Steel

RF (1.2083) Steel

Steel name: RF (1.2083)
Diagram No.: 2503
Mat.No. (Wr.Nr.) designation: 1.2083
DIN designation: X40Cr14
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.42% C, 0.40% Si, 0.30% Mn, 13.00% Cr
Steel group: Stainless steels
Properties: RF is a highly hardenable stainless and acid resistant steel. It is used for the production of smaller molds or inserts for the plastics industry in the processing of duroplasts and thermoplasts, where corrosive by-products may be produced. RF is through hardenable and low in distortion, has high wear resistance and high compressive strength. In the quenched and tempered state RF is very easy to polish.
Applications: Inserts and smaller injection molds under corrosive stress. Press molds in the processing of plastics.
Reference: Not shown in this demo version.
