AISI P20 is an alloy tool steel with good machining ability even when hardened and tempered (Brinell 300). This steel has a polished surface and is one of the most regularly used requirements for machine cut plastic molds and casting dies. AISI P20 is frequently hardened and tempered, ready for machining. It provides great wear resistance in this form, however if maximal surface hardness is required for compression molding plastic dies or similar equipment, the steel can be case hardened. A higher Sulfur variant, AISI P20, is offered for improved machinability.
Virat Special Steels is the largest stockiest and supplier of AISI P20 Steel in flat, square and round bar. We provide steel in all sizes as your requirements. AISI P20 die steel is available in flat, square and round shape. Consult our team who will assist you for AISI P20 steel query.
P20 / DIN 2311 /AISI P20 is the Pre Hardened Plastic mould steel hardness distributed evenly in large cross sections that have excellent weldability with least hardness elevation, good mirror polishability and less streak texture making finishing easier. Size Section availability upto 255mm thickness. Supply hardness is 240-280 BHN.

During the carburizing process, P20 / DIN 2311 / AISI P20 tool steels are heated to 871-899°C (1600-1650°F) in the carburizing medium. After carburizing, these steels are heated to 816-871°C (1500-1600°F) to harden, then held for 15 minutes before being oil quenched.
Heat the steel consistently to 820-840°C until completely heated. Soak in oil to cool.
Heat gently, giving the steel enough time to heat all the way through. start forging at 1050 degrees. Never forge below 930°C, reheating as needed. After forging, allow it to progressively cool.
To reduce machining stresses when dies are substantially machined, stabilizing is advised right before finishing machining. 460° to 500° Celsius. Good soaking followed by air cooling is advised.
Heating uniformly to 900°C for P20 / DIN 2311 / AISI P20 steel.
Heating consistently to 770–790°C for P20 / DIN 2311 / AISI P20 annealing. Good soaking, gentle cooling in the boiler.
Heat evenly and soak for at least one hour for every 25mm of section at the tempering temperature. Allow it to cool in a cool air.
P20 / DIN 2311 / AISI P20 tool steels are welded using traditional techniques.

Plastic mould steel equivalent to P20/ DIN 2311 / AISI P20 use for die holders, zinc die, casting dies, backers, bolsters, injection moulds, mould frames for plastic moulds, Shoe Blocks, pressure casting moulds, recipient sleeves Etc.
P20 Tool Steel is a low-carbon, chromium-molybdenum mold steel that offers excellent toughness, machinability and polishability, making it a popular choice across mold-making and die-casting industries. It is extensively used in plastic injection molding, blow molding, zinc die casting, automotive component tooling and consumer goods mold making where cosmetic finish and dimensional consistency are of utmost importance. P20 Tool Steel is used by manufacturers to make mold cavities, cores, mold bases, bolsters and die holders that can stand up to repeated thermal cycling in production. Virat Special Steels' P20 Tool Steel, with its consistent pre-hardened quality, superior machinability and cost-effective supply, is the ideal choice for industries to achieve precision, productivity and long-lasting mold performance.
