1.2312 Tool Steel is a plastic-mould and cold-work tool steel designed for excellent machinability and consistent strength, offering a reliable balance of toughness and wear resistance for medium-duty tooling applications.

Key Features

This grade is optimized for machinability through its elevated sulfur content while maintaining good core strength and the potential for nitriding or hardening, making it ideal for tooling environments requiring both precision and durability.

Typical Applications

• Plastic injection moulds and frames
• Zinc die-casting dies and backers
• Tool holders and wear plates
• Structural tooling components in machine construction
• Moulds for rubber pressings and extrusion dies

Forms of Supply

Supplied as pre-hardened rounds, plates and blocks with cut lengths or saw-to-size options; available across the UAE and Gulf region for immediate tooling fabrication.
