P20
Plastic Mold Steel

P20

P20 (DIN 1.2311) is commonly used for plastic injection molds and mold bases. It is often supplied in pre-hardened condition to allow direct machining without additional heat treatment. P20 is suitable for general plastic mold applications requiring stable machinability.
Hardness HRC 28–34 (typical pre-hardened range)
Usage
Plastic injection molds Mold bases
PM23
PM Tool Steel

PM23

PM23 is a powder metallurgy tool steel used for high wear stamping and fine blanking applications. It is typically selected for tooling inserts requiring extended service life. PM23 is supplied as small blocks with heat treatment and finishing arranged per order.
Hardness HRC 60–64 (typical PM range, application dependent)
Usage
Fine blanking inserts High wear stamping inserts
PM30
PM Tool Steel

PM30

PM30 is a powder metallurgy tool steel used for wear-intensive tooling applications. It is commonly applied in stamping inserts and wear parts requiring high wear resistance. Material is supplied as cut-to-size blocks with processing arranged per order.
Hardness HRC 60–64 (application dependent)
Usage
High wear tooling inserts Punches for demanding stamping applications
PM60
PM Tool Steel

PM60

PM60 (ASP60) is a powder metallurgy tool steel used for tooling applications requiring very high wear resistance. It is commonly selected for stamping inserts, fine blanking inserts, and wear parts where service life is a priority. PM60 is typically supplied as cut-to-size blocks, with heat treatment and grinding arranged according to application requirements.
Hardness HRC 62–66 (application dependent)
Usage
High wear stamping inserts Fine blanking inserts
S136
Plastic Mold Steel

S136

S136 (DIN 1.2083) is a stainless plastic mold steel used for mold cores and cavities where corrosion resistance is required. It is commonly selected for molds processing corrosive plastics or operating in humid environments. Material can be supplied in annealed or heat-treated condition.
Hardness HRC 48–52 (when heat treated)
Usage
Plastic molds for corrosive materials Mold cores and cavities
SKH9
High Speed Steel

SKH9

SKH9 is a high speed steel similar to M2, commonly used for cutting tools and wear parts. It is selected for applications requiring high hardness and wear resistance. Material is supplied in annealed or heat-treated condition depending on requirements.
Hardness HRC 62–64 (when heat treated)
Usage
Cutting tools Wear parts
YG15
Carbide Steel

YG15

YG15 is a carbide grade commonly used for wear inserts in stamping die applications. It is supplied as custom blanks for tooling inserts where high wear resistance is required. Delivery condition and sizes are confirmed per order.
Hardness N/A (carbide grade)
Usage
Stamping die wear inserts High wear tooling inserts
