EskyLos OptiMo Steel

Steel name: EskyLos OptiMo
Diagram No.: 2581
Mat.No. (Wr.Nr.) designation: ~1.2344/~1.2343
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.32-0.40% C, 0.10-0.30% Si, 0.30-0.50% Mn, <0.003% S, <0.015% P, 4.80-5.50% Cr, 1.50-2.00% Mo, 0.40-0.70% V, +W
Steel group: Plastic mould steels
Properties: EskyLos OptiMo is the latest evolution proposed by Lucchini RS for the family of low Silicon steel grades, designed for the most demanding High Pressure Light Alloys (Al-Mg) Die Casting moulds. It has been developed starting from the experience of EskyLos® 2340 grade, optimizing the Molybdenum (Mo) content and adding special micro-alloying elements such as Tungsten (W) to improve characteristics.
Applications: High pressure Aluminium/Magnesium die casting moulds. Moulds for low pressure Aluminium die castings. Moulds for Aluminium gravity die castings.
Reference: Not shown in this demo version.

Heat Treatment
Hardening: 980 - 1010°C, air, vacuum cooling, salt bath, polymer in H2O.
Tempering: See the diagram.
Diagram note: Tempering curve of a sample austenitised at 980 °C. The diagram shows values obtained after the second temper.
