Make components that last a lifetime
This steel gives an excellent polished finish and is one of the most widely accepted specifications for machine cut plastic moulds and casting dies. The P20 series is often supplied in the hardened and tempered condition ready for machining. In this condition it gives excellent wear resistance but if maximum surface hardness is required for compression moulding plastic dies or similar tools, the steel can be case hardened or nitrided. P20+Ni has higher Nickel content which lends more hardness to the material, and gives it a longer life.
