Of plastics; They are tool steels used in shaping with injection, extrusion, blow molding and various pressing techniques. It is not right to choose the mold material depending on the properties of plastic raw materials such as hardness and corrosive conditions. The surface brightness, surface properties, machinability of the mold steel, weldability and polishability, which are expected from the product and therefore from the mold, should be taken into consideration in the selection of steel.

STEEL SELECTION CRITERIA

The following criteria are taken into account when selecting plastic tool steels.

01.Corrosion resistance
02. Abrasion Resistance
03. Polishability
04. Machinability
05.Dimensional stability
06. Erosion treatment
07. Thermal conductivity
08. Nitriding, surface hardening
09. Pattern applications
10. Weldability
