Brand2312

Tool Steel with Good Polishability, Machinability, Temperature, and Wear Resistance

Primarily utilized in the manufacturing of tools for plastics processing and moulds for pressure die casting, as well as matrix for machinery used in die casting processes, and crafting molds for plastic injection molding.

Product description

SIMOLD 2312 is a cold working tool steel, typically supplied hardened and tempered to 880-1080 N/mm². The higher sulfur content provides good machinability at relatively high hardness. It also offers the possibility of nitriding and good polishability. 

Manufacture

SIMOLD 2312 is made by SIJ Acroni and SIJ Metal Ravne. The manufacturer depends on the steel's final form, affecting its physical properties and chemical composition.
