Plastics Mold and Tool Steel Comparagraph
Mold and Tool Steels
• Relatively High Toughness
• Moderate Alloy Content
Plating or nitriding can be used for improved wear resistance, or refer to the chart below:
To provide a common reference, AISI A2 has been included on both graphs and is outlined in a black box.
• Higher vanadium carbide content imparts superior wear resistance.
• CPM process provides outstanding toughness.
• Suitable for abrasive engineered resin applications.
