1.2738 Tool Steel Plate
1.2738 (corresponding to AISI P20+Ni) is a high-quality pre-hardened plastic tool steel. Its key feature is that it has already undergone quenching and tempering treatment before leaving the factory, achieving a usable hardness. Therefore, users can skip the time-consuming heat treatment process and directly proceed with mold making.
Supply orm and status:
Common forms: steel plates/sheets, and round bars.
Delivered condition: pre-hardened and tempered, a key characteristic that distinguishes it from tool steels that require heat treatment.
