HXM 24 Steel is a high-hardness, pre-hardened mould and tool steel used in industrial applications requiring hardness, wear resistance, toughness and good machinability. It is suitable for mould-making and precision tooling applications where durability, surface finish and dimensional stability are important. With its specified hardness and mechanical properties, HXM 24 steel can be considered for plastic injection moulds, industrial tooling, extrusion dies and other demanding mould applications, subject to the manufacturer's technical specifications.
The chemical composition of HXM 24 steel determines its hardness, strength, toughness, machinability and wear resistance. Typical indicative values are listed below; the actual composition should be confirmed using the applicable material specification or mill test certificate.
| Chemical Element | Carbon (C) | Chromium (Cr) | Manganese (Mn) | Molybdenum (Mo) | Nickel (Ni) | Silicon (Si) | Sulphur (S) | Phosphorus (P) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Composition (%) | 0.35–0.45 | 1.8–2.0 | 0.6–1.0 | 0.3–0.5 | 0.9–1.2 | 0.2–0.4 | Controlled | Controlled |
HXM 24 steel is selected for applications requiring a balance of hardness, strength, toughness and machinability. Its actual mechanical properties depend on the supplied condition, manufacturing process and applicable technical specification.
| Property | Hardness | Tensile Strength | Yield Strength | Density | Modulus of Elasticity | Toughness | Wear Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indicative Value | Confirm the specified range with the supplier | Approximately 1,000–1,200 MPa, subject to verification | Approximately 850–1,000 MPa, subject to verification | Approximately 7.85 g/cm³ | Approximately 210 GPa | Depends on the grade specification and supplied condition | Depends on hardness, composition and operating conditions |
