1.2083 Steel | X42Cr13

1.2083 Steel | X42Cr13 | SUS420J2 | X40Cr14 | 2314 | 17029 | 420S37 | X12 | 420 Modified Plastic Mold Steel
DIN 1.2083 is typical Stainless Chrome Plastic Mold Steel. German die steel 1.2083 is a chromium content up to 13% of the plastic die steel. 1.2083 mold steel has good polishing and excellent wear resistance, is often used to prevent acid plastic mold. Special Steel China Supplier and factory -Gnee supply 1.2083 steels in round bar, plate, flat bar, square, block and others any shape.

DIN 1.2083 steel is chromium alloyed stainless plastic mold steel. It is equivalent to AISI 420 steel. The steel 1.2083 is a major steels for hot pressing in circulation.

1.2083 stainless steel is generally supplied annealed condition with a hardness < 230HB. It can also be delivered ESR and quenched and tempered to 320 HB.

Main characteristics of DIN 1.2083 are :

– a good atmospheric corrosion resistance,

– an excellent polishability,

– a good machinability in annealed condition,

– a high hardenability

– a good wear resistance

Heat Treatment of DIN 1.2083 Plastic Steel

• 1.2083 Annealing

Slowly heat to 750-800℃，then slowly Cools to 538℃(1000℉) in heat treatment furnace. Then cool in air. After annealing hardness HBS: 225 Max

• Din W-Nr 1.2083 Hardening

1.2083 steel having very high hardenability and should be hardened by cooling in still air. The use of a salt bath or controlled atmosphere furnace is desirable to minimize decarburization, and if not available, pack hardening in spent pitch coke is suggested.

• Quenching of Stainless Plastic mold 1.2083 material

Quenching temperature / ℃ : 1020~1050

Quenching medium: Oil cooling
