EDRO #31 P1-FM is a free machining low alloy steel supplied prehardened to 262-321 HB. P1-FM is characterized by excellent machinability, uniform and consistent hardness in all dimensions, good resistance to indentation (compressive strength), excellent ductility, excellent flatness, dimensionally stable, smooth as rolled surfaces, weldable, and excellent thermal conductivity. P1-FM is an improved grade designed specifically for plastic and rubber molding applications. Chemical composition and thermal treatments provide physical properties and microstructures designed to provide reduced mold maintenance costs, safe weld repair, dimensional stability, and lower mold production costs due to less cutting tool wear and increased cutting speeds. Applications: plastic and rubber molds, plastic mold bases, constructional parts, plastic extrusionInformation provided by EDRO |
