What is Grade 1.2738 Steel?
Grade 1.2738 steel is a high-quality pre-hardened Plastic Mould Steell designed for large mould applications and high-performance tooling systems. It is an improved version of P20+Ni steel with enhanced hardness, toughness, and machinability.
This steel is widely used in the plastic mould industry for manufacturing large and complex mould cavities where uniform hardness and durability are required.
1.2738 steel is supplied in a pre-hardened condition (usually 28–36 HRC), making it ready to use without additional heat treatment. This reduces production time and increases manufacturing efficiency.
Properties of Grade 1.2738 Steel
Grade 1.2738 offers superior mechanical properties compared to conventional mould steels.
- Pre-hardened condition (28–36 HRC)
- High tensile strength
- Excellent toughness and wear resistance
- Good machinability for CNC machining
- Uniform hardness distribution
- Good polishability for mould surfaces
- High resistance to deformation
Due to these properties, 1.2738 steel is widely used in heavy-duty mould manufacturing applications.
Applications of Grade 1.2738 Steel
Grade 1.2738 is commonly used in industries requiring large mould sizes and high production cycles.
- Plastic injection moulds
- Automotive mould components
- Large mould bases and cavities
- Industrial plastic parts
- Household product moulds
- Engineering tooling systems
In the automotive industry, 1.2738 steel is used for dashboards, bumpers, interior plastic components, and structural mould parts.
