1.2085 Flat Bar, AISI 420FM, X33CrS16

Description

1.2085 Flat Bar / AISI 420FM / X33CrS16

1.2085 Flat Bar is a corrosion resistant, martensitic stainless tool steel primarily used for plastic molds and cutting tools, known for its excellent machinability, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. It features a high chromium content (around 16%) and a sulfur additive, which enhances its ease of machining and robustness. The steel is typically supplied in a pre-hardened (quenched and tempered) condition for immediate use.

DIN 1.2085 Flat Bar steel, also known as equivalent to AISI 420FM, is a versatile tool steel that exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance properties. This high-quality steel grade steel 1.2085 is extensively used in the manufacturing of plastic molds and dies, as well as for manufacturing components for the automotive and aerospace industries. Here you have the characteristics, properties, and applications of 1.2085 materials in detail.

Grade 1.2085 material is a martensitic stainless steel. Steel 1.2085 is equivalent to several other steel grades, including AISI 420FM, and DIN X33CrS16. These equivalent grades have similar chemical compositions and mechanical properties, making them interchangeable in many applications. For example, AISI 420 and DIN X33CrS16 are widely used in the manufacturing of surgical instruments, cutting tools, and molds, while DIN 1.2085 is often used in the production of plastic molds and injection molding tools.

When choosing a steel grade for a particular application, it is important to consider factors such as the required strength, hardness, and toughness, as well as the desired machinability and weldability.
