In the world of manufacturing, the choice of material plays a crucial role in determining the success of a product. When it comes to plastic molding and tooling applications, one steel always stands out for its exceptional properties and versatility: P20+NI. This steel, also known as AISI P20+NI, has gained significant popularity in the mechanical and electrical industries.
Understanding P20+NI :
P20 steel or AISI P20 usually consists of:
- Carbon (C):0.28% to 0.40D44
- Silicon (Si):0.20% to 0.80 D44
- Manganese (Mn):0.60% to 1.00 D44
- Phosphorus (P):0.03% maximum
- Sulphur (S):0.03% maximum
- Chromium (Cr):1.40% to 2.00D44
- Molybdenum (Mo):0.30% to 0.55D44
- Nickel (Ni):0.80% to 1.20D44
P20+NI is an enhanced version of P20 steel, with the addition of nickel (Ni) to improve its properties includes high hardness & tensile strength , Excellent Machinability , Good Toughness and Impact Resistance facilitates the manufacturing process and helps reduce production costs. It falls under the category of plastic mould tool steels and exhibits remarkable attributes that make it highly suitable for various applications.
Applications in the Mechanical Industry:
Injection Moulding Tooling: P20+NI’s remarkable qualities make it a popular choice for injection mould production. It can sustain dimensional stability and accuracy even under extreme pressure and heat throughout the injection molding process. Because of its durability and resilience to wear, steel is the perfect material for accurately creating huge quantities of plastic components.
Extrusion Tooling: P20+NI is used in the extrusion procedures for die and tooling component fabrication. It can withstand the high temperatures and pressures involved in plastic extrusion, ensuring the accurate shaping of profiles and tubes.
Applications in the Electrical Industry
Electrical Connectors and Housings: P20+NI is used in the manufacture of moulds for electrical connections and housing due to exceptional machinability. Hence these components are very precise, durable
Circuit Breaker Components: P20+NI’s combination of strength, toughness, and machinability makes it an ideal choice for manufacturing circuit breaker components such as contacts, terminals, and insulators.
