DIN 1.2316 Mould Steel

A martensitic steel alloy, whose chemical composition consists of a significant content of chromium, gives it good corrosion resistance properties.

The mechanical properties are also improved due to the inclusion of molybdenum in the DIN 1.2316 Chemical Composition.

The other elements included in its chemistry include nickel, manganese, and silicon. Because the content of chromium is high in the alloy, the material is tough.

A high degree of toughness prevents the Aço DIN 1.2316 Plates from getting abraded via any external forces. It is because of this reason that the alloy may be used for tooling purposes.

Although specifically, the DIN 1.2316 Plastic Mold Steel Plate makes itself useful as tool steel that is ideal for the processing of plastic materials for example – PVC. PVC is a plastic grade that is known to be chemically aggressive.


Toughness aside, the 1.2316 Tool Steel Round Bar has great resistance to heat while also allowing the material to be polished with ease in comparison to other alloys.

Usually, martensitic chromium-containing steel like the DIN 1.2316 Plastic Mold Steel Plate has good resistance to corrosion because of multiple elements in the chemistry.

Its corrosion resistance properties are valued in the plastic industry because this property surpasses grade 1.2083 since the DIN 1.2316 Round Bar can withstand chemically aggressive materials like PVC.
