It has excellent hardening penetration and is specially used for plastic injection die moulds. The characteristics of a material are right sharpening, photo-etching properties with high purity and good homogeneity. P20+Ni is an upgraded version of 2311 plastic mould steel, which is normally supplied in pre-hardened condition. Hardness in as provided condition 280-320 HB with having uniform hardness and the extra nickel content of 1% increases through hardening. It has great machinability, appropriate for plastic molds for medium and huge size, texturing, adequate corrosion resistance, fine polish ability, vacuum-degassed steel. It can be subject to a nitriding treatment to enhance its wear resistance.
