DIN 2738 Mould Steel - Virat Special Steels

DIN Mould Steel - Virat Special Steels

DIN 1. is specifically designed for use in plastic injection die moulds. This material boasts impressive sharpening capabilities, excellent photo-etching properties, and high purity alongside good homogeneity. An improvement upon the plastic mold steel of the past, DIN is typically supplied in a pre-hardened state. Delivered hardness ranges from 280 to 320 HB with consistent hardness throughout. The added nickel content of 1% facilitates enhanced through-hardening, making it a reliable option for various applications. It also offers commendable machinability, making it well-suited for texturing, fine polishability, and adequate corrosion resistance, all thanks to its vacuum-degassed steel composition.

DIN High Hard (HXM 24)

This modified version features high hardness ranging from 360 to 400 BHN, incorporating increased alloy elements to ensure extended durability and superior polishing capabilities.

DIN steel is categorized as a type of plastic mold steel that is akin to P20+Ni / AISI P20+Ni Tool Steel. The alloying elements that contribute to its hardness and toughness include nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. Specifically designed for the plastic mold sector, DIN tool steel is primarily used in large steel mold components. It is commonly available pre-hardened, quenched, and tempered within the hardness spectrum of 280 - 320 HB, making it particularly advantageous for applications subjected to high-temperature conditions and challenging mechanical circumstances.

Mode of Supply

DIN steels stand out with their superior polishability compared to 1. (AISI P20+S) and enhanced machinability. To further augment the hardness and wear resistance of the mould surface, treatments such as nitrogenation and flame hardening can be applied. The manufacturing process of DIN steel involves melting in an electric furnace, followed by refinement using VOD or DH equipment.
