FAQs of 1.2316 Mould Tool Steel Sheet:
Q: How is the flatness of the 1.2316 Mould Tool Steel Sheet assured?
A: The flatness tolerance for the 1.2316 steel sheet is maintained according to the EN ISO 9445 standard, ensuring precise and consistent surface flatness suitable for mould making and industrial tooling applications.
Q: What makes 1.2316 Mould Tool Steel Sheet suitable for corrosion-prone environments?
A: The sheets composition includes 16% chromium, imparting excellent corrosion resistance, which is crucial for moulds used in chemicals or high-moisture environments, enhancing longevity and reducing maintenance.
Q: When should pre- and post-weld heat treatment be considered for this steel?
A: Because weldability is limited, pre- and post-weld heat treatments are recommended when welding the 1.2316 steel sheet to maintain its properties, prevent cracking, and preserve the sheets microstructural integrity.
Q: Where can 1.2316 Mould Tool Steel Sheets be used?
A: These sheets are commonly used in plastic injection moulds, die casting moulds, construction projects, and any setting demanding high toughness, corrosion resistance, and precision fabrication.
Q: What is the process for achieving higher hardness in the 1.2316 steel sheet?
A: To reach maximum hardness (up to 50 HRC), the steel sheet undergoes a water hardening process after suitable heat treatment, transitioning from its annealed hardness of 229270 HB.
Q: How does the sheets thermal conductivity benefit its usage in moulding?
A: With a thermal conductivity of approximately 23.5 W/mK, the steel sheet enables efficient heat dissipation, reducing thermal fatigue and improving moulding cycle times in plastic or die casting operations.
Q: What are the advantages of ordering custom-sized 1.2316 Mould Tool Steel sheets?
A: Custom sizing allows clients to acquire sheets tailored to specific project requirements, minimizing waste, optimizing production efficiency, and ensuring compatibility with diverse mould and tooling designs.
