DIN 1.2083 steel is chromium alloyed stainless plastic mold steel. It is equivalent to AISI 420 steel. The steel 1.2083 is a major steels for hot pressing in circulation.
1.2083 stainless steel is generally supplied annealed condition with a hardness < 230HB. It can also be delivered ESR and quenched and tempered to 320 HB.
Main characteristics of DIN 1.2083 are :
– a good atmospheric corrosion resistance,
– an excellent polishability,
– a good machinability in annealed condition,
– a high hardenability
– a good wear resistance
