P20 TOOL STEEL - Flats & Squares
P20 (1.2311) Pre hardened to approximately 300 B.H (65 t.s.i) P20 requires no further heat treatment therefore avoiding risk of distortion or cracking. Although pre-hardened P20 is still capable of being machined and of giving a good polished finish.
Typical applications:Plastic moulds, backers, bolsters, die holders. Also suitable for other applications such as rails, shafts and wear strips
