India, Delhi, Mohali, goa
A martensitic steel alloy, whose chemical composition consists of a significant content of chromium, gives it good corrosion resistance properties.
The mechanical properties are also improved due to the inclusion of molybdenum in the DIN 1.2316 Chemical Composition.
1.2316 Esr Mould Steel
high speed steel
The other elements included in its chemistry include nickel, manganese, and silicon. Because the content of chromium is high in the alloy, the material is tough.
A high degree of toughness prevents the Aço DIN 1.2316 Plates from getting abraded via any external forces.
It is because of this reason that the alloy may be used for tooling purposes.
Although specifically, the DIN 1.2316 Plastic Mold Steel Plate makes itself useful as tool steel that is ideal for the processing of plastic materials for example – PVC. PVC is a plastic grade that is known to be chemically aggressive.
Toughness aside, the 1.2316 Tool Steel Round Bar has great resistance to heat while also allowing the material to be polished with ease in comparison to other alloys.
Usually, martensitic chromium-containing steel like the DIN 1.2316 MoldSteel Plate has good resistance to corrosion because of multiple elements in the chemistry.
Its corrosion resistance properties are valued in the plastic industry because this property surpasses grade 1.2083 since the DIN 1.2316 Round Bar can withstand chemically aggressive materials like PVC.
What is the applications so 1.2316 Mould Steel?
Applications of 1.2316 ESR Mould Steel
1.2316 ESR (Electro-Slag Remelted) mould steel is widely used in high-performance industrial applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high toughness, and good polishability. Its composition makes it particularly suitable for environments where chemical resistance, durability, and high surface quality are required. Below are the key application areas of this premium-grade tool steel:
1. Plastic Mould Manufacturing
1.2316 ESR is one of the preferred steels for plastic injection moulds, especially in cases where plastics containing aggressive additives (such as PVC, acetate, and other chemically reactive materials) are used.
Why is it suitable?
High corrosion resistance prevents rusting and wear when dealing with aggressive plastics.
Excellent polishability ensures smooth surfaces, which improves the quality of plastic components.
Good wear resistance extends mould lifespan in high-production environments.
Examples of plastic mould applications:
Moulds for food packaging (hygienic and corrosion-resistant).
Optical component moulds requiring high surface quality.
Medical plastic components requiring contamination-free production.
2. Rubber and Silicone Moulding
1.2316 ESR is used in moulds for rubber and silicone products because of its resistance to chemical attack and thermal degradation.
Suitable for manufacturing automotive rubber seals, gaskets, and medical-grade silicone products.
3. Die-Casting Moulds
Used in pressure die-casting tools and inserts, particularly for zinc, magnesium, and aluminum alloys.
The steel’s high hardness and thermal stability allow it to withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Reduces risk of thermal fatigue cracks and enhances tool life.
4. Pharmaceutical and Medical Equipment Moulds
Due to its high corrosion resistance and easy sterilization, 1.2316 ESR is used in medical moulds that produce items such as:
Syringe moulds
Medical packaging
Surgical instrument casings
5. Food Industry Moulds and Tools
Used in food-grade plastic moulds and processing equipment due to its hygienic, corrosion-resistant properties.
Common applications:
Chocolate moulds
Food container moulds
Beverage bottle caps and closures
6. Extrusion Dies and Blow Moulding Dies
Employed in plastic extrusion processes for pipes, sheets, and profiles.
Suitable for blow moulding tools used in producing plastic bottles and containers.
7. Aerospace and Automotive Components
Used in moulds and dies for composite materials in aerospace and high-performance automotive parts.
Suitable for battery enclosures and electrical vehicle (EV) components that require chemical resistance and high strength.
8. Precision Engineering and Optical Lens Moulds
Due to its high polishability and dimensional stability, it is used for optical component moulds (such as lenses and precision plastic parts).
Conclusion
1.2316 ESR mould steel is a versatile and high-performance material that serves industries requiring durability, corrosion resistance, and high-quality surface finishes. Milano Special Steel is a key supplier of this steel, ensuring top-grade products for industrial moulding applications.
