(Corresponding to Chinese brand: 3Cr2NiMo German DIN standard grade : 1. 2738 )
Chemical composition content:
C:0.32-0.42 Si:0.20-0.80 Mn:1.00-1.50 S:≤0.030
P:≤0.030 Cr:1.40-2.00 Mo:0.30-0.55 Ni:0.80-1.20
718 mold steel (Chinese brand 3Cr2NiMo ) is an improved steel grade on P20 (3Cr2Mo) . It has great improvements in quality, making it fill the shortcomings of P20 mold steel and meet the requirements of P20 mold steel. It is a high-quality steel, belonging to P20+Ni. Due to the increase in Ni, it is easier to quench and has better toughness than P20. Used to make molds with higher requirements than P20.
