International Mold Steel PX5 P20 Type Pre-Hardened Mold Steel
Subcategory: Tool Steel; Mold Steel; Metal
Material Notes: Description: PX5 is a 30 HRc, P20-type, pre-hardened steel that can be used for all plastic molding. It is the highest quality P20-type mold steel currently available, and is superior to all other P20-type mold steels in terms of machining, stability, and welding. Unique Characteristics: - Exceptionally clean steel with uniform microstructure – no pin holes, inclusions or hard spots.
- 30-33 HRc hardness.
- Uniform hardness throughout, even in heavy sections.
- 75% tougher than typical chrome-moly steels.
- Patented chemistry suppresses weld cracking and hardness elevation in the heat affected zone, eliminating the need for pre-heating and post-heating in most welding situations.
- Machines 30-50% faster than any other P20-type steel.
- Never needs stress relieving, even after heavy machining.
