1.2080 Tool Steel / AISI D3 / DIN X210Cr12

With its robust performance, 1.2080 mould steel has become an indispensable key material across numerous manufacturing sectors:

Star of Plastic Moulding: Particularly adept at producing critical components requiring high wear resistance, such as injection mould cores, blow mould cavities, slides, and ejector pins. It is an ideal choice for demanding conditions involving glass-fibre reinforced plastics.

Core of Stamping/Cold Work Moulds: Extensively employed in producing blanking dies (particularly high-wear-resistance punching dies), cold heading dies, embossing dies, and bending dies, playing a pivotal role in the efficient and precise forming of sheet metal.

Reliable Partner for Cutting Tools and Gauges: Suitable for manufacturing cutting tools, precision gauges (such as gauges and gauge blocks), and other tools requiring high wear resistance and dimensional stability.

Other Wear-Resistant Components: Equally effective in industrial components demanding high abrasion resistance and scratch resistance.

Our advantages in Processing 1.2080 Tool Steel

We fully comprehend that performance specifications mark merely the starting point; consistent, stable quality is the fundamental safeguard for your production continuity. How do we ensure every batch of 1.2080 tool steel stands the test?

Select Raw Materials and Pure Smelting: Strictly controlling the purity of raw material sources, we employ advanced smelting techniques (such as electric furnace smelting + LF/VOD refining) to effectively reduce harmful elements and inclusions in the steel. This safeguards material purity and uniformity from the outset.

Precise rolling and cooling control: Meticulously regulating temperature, deformation, and subsequent cooling processes during forging or rolling ensures a dense, uniform microstructure, laying a robust foundation for ultimate performance.

Rigorous Heat Treatment Processes: Utilising specialised heat treatment equipment and stringent process protocols (precision control of preheating, quenching, and tempering temperatures and durations), we ensure materials achieve optimal microstructures and performance metrics (hardness, toughness, wear resistance) while maintaining high batch-to-batch consistency.

Full Quality Traceability: From raw material intake to finished product dispatch, comprehensive quality inspection monitoring is implemented throughout the entire process (including chemical composition analysis, hardness testing, ultrasonic flaw detection, metallographic examination, etc.), providing you with reliable quality certification.
