Description
Milano Special Steel is a leading supplier of DIN 1.2738 Steel Plate, a high-quality plastic mold-making steel equivalent to AISI P20+Ni tool steel.
This steel is alloyed with nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, which contribute to its exceptional hardness and toughness.
We proudly serve customers in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Manesar, offering DIN 1.2738 Steel Plate tailored to your needs.
Specially engineered for the plastic mold industry, DIN 1.2738 tool steel excels in large steel mold applications.
It is typically supplied pre-hardened, quenched, and tempered to a hardness of 32–34 HRC, ensuring excellent machinability.
Compared to 1.2312 (AISI P20+S), DIN 1.2738 offers superior polishability.
Additional treatments like nitrogenation and flame hardening can enhance the surface hardness and wear resistance.
This steel is produced using an electric furnace and refined with advanced VOD or DH processes for optimal quality.
Key Properties of DIN 1.2738 Steel Plate
- Physical Properties (Ambient Temperature):
- Modulus of Elasticity: 205 [10³ x N/mm²]
- Density: 7.80 g/cm³
- Thermal Conductivity: 29.0 W/m.K
- Specific Heat Capacity: 0.46 J/g.K
- Strength: ≈ 1080 N/mm²
- Thermal Conductivity at 100°C: 33.5 W/m.K
- Forging: Hot forming temperature ranges from 1093–898°C.
- Heat Treatment:
- Typically supplied pre-toughened; no additional heat treatment is needed unless specific requirements arise.
- Soft Annealing: 710–740°C for 2–5 hours, followed by slow cooling (10–20°C/hour) to ~600°C, then air cooling. Maximum Brinell hardness: 235.
- Hardening: Heat to 840–870°C, quench in oil, hot bath, or air (180–220°C). Post-quench hardness: ~52 HRC.
- Tempering: Heat slowly post-hardening; maintain tempering temperature for 1 hour per 20 mm thickness, with double tempering recommended.
Applications of DIN 1.2738 Steel Plate
DIN 1.2738 mold steel is ideal for low-temperature applications, including die-casting dies, injection molds, synthetic plastic mold dies, and highly stressed large plastic molds (up to 400 mm).
It is also well-suited for hydroforming tools and supports nitriding and chrome plating for enhanced performance.
