DIN 1.2083 Plastic Mould Steel
Description
1.2083 mold steel, also known as X42Cr13, is a high-quality stainless tool steel primarily used in plastic mold manufacturing. It features excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for molds exposed to moist environments or corrosive plastics. With good polishability and wear resistance, 1.2083 is suitable for applications requiring a high surface finish, such as optical or medical molds. It also offers good dimensional stability during heat treatment. Due to its high chromium content, it maintains hardness and durability while resisting rust. This steel is widely used in the production of injection molds, especially for PVC and other aggressive plastics.
