DIN 1.2085, a pre-hardened martensitic stainless steel, is the optimal choice for the manufacture of mold holders in the plastic molding industry. Featuring corrosion resistance, improved machinability and ability to resist compression, this steel offers exceptional reliability and performance.
DIN 1.2085 corresponds to X33CrS16, it is supplied as a pre-tempered martensitic stainless steel, used especially for the production of mold holders or cavity holders in the manufacture of plastic injection molds, its balanced chemical composition, with 0.32% carbon, 16% chromium, 1.0% Ni and 0.10% sulfur, gives the material remarkable corrosion resistance and hardness properties.
In terms of physical properties, DIN 1.2085 offers thermal conductivity of 17 W/m °C, thermal expansion coefficient of 11.0 the tension of 10 N/mm² and a yield strength of 6 N/mm². Its mechanical properties are remarkable.
The distinctive characteristics of this steel include its good corrosion resistance, as well as improved machinability thanks to the presence of sulfur and manganese, its main application is in plastic molding, being ideal for mold holders exposed to oxidizing environmental conditions. Furthermore, its use extends to high-performance plastic injection molds.
DIN 1.2085 Applications
In general applications, DIN 1.2085 stands out for its quenched and tempered condition, which allows its immediate use in mechanical applications, its compressive strength makes it versatile for various applications, offering a reliable and hardened alternative to conventional machinery steels.
