Plastic Mould Steel 1.2316 is a premium stainless steel specifically designed for plastic injection molding applications that require high corrosion resistance and excellent toughness. It is particularly suitable for molding corrosive and chemically aggressive plastics, including those with a high acid content, such as PVC and other challenging materials. 1.2316 steel is known for its superior resistance to both corrosion and abrasion, making it ideal for producing molds that need to maintain high-quality surface finishes over extended production runs. With a hardness range typically between 48-52 HRC, it combines good wear resistance with exceptional toughness, ensuring that the molds perform reliably under high pressure and temperature conditions. Its resistance to pitting and corrosion also helps extend the mold's lifespan, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Plastic Mould Steel 1.2316 is widely used in industries like automotive, medical, and electronics for producing precision plastic components that require both durability and consistent high-quality results.
