1.2316 Tool Steel

1-2316-tool-steel-product-image

1.2316 tool steel is a high chromium chromium molybdenum tool steel with excellent corrosion resistance, polishability, and toughness. 1.2316 steel performs reliably in tooling applications exposed to aggressive or corrosive environments.

Key Features

This material offers superior wear resistance and corrosion resilience while maintaining good machinability and dimensional stability. It is ideal for tool making in demanding conditions where precision and durability are required.

Typical Applications
  • Injection moulds for corrosive plastics
  • Die casting moulds & extrusion tooling
  • Precision moulds requiring mirror finishing
  • Tool holders and wear plates in chemical/abrasive service
Forms of Supply

Supplied in pre hardened or quenched & tempered condition as rounds, flats, plates, and blocks. As one of the best metal steel trading llc, we provide cut to size delivery throughout the GCC region.

1.2316 tool steel is a high chromium mould steel developed for tooling that operates in corrosive or chemically aggressive environments. It combines excellent corrosion resistance with good toughness and dimensional stability for long service life.

 

This grade is widely selected for precision moulds that demand superior surface finish and consistent performance. As a trusted supplier of ferrous material, we support tooling manufacturers across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the GCC with reliable stock and cut to size solutions.

Key Advantages & Uses of 1.2316 tool steel
  • High chromium content supports strong resistance to corrosion and chemical attack
  • Excellent polishability for mirror finish plastic moulds
  • Stable material behavior during machining and service
  • Suitable for pre hardened or quenched and tempered tooling
  • Commonly used for injection moulds, die casting tools, and extrusion dies

Technical Specifications

Chemical Composition
  • Carbon (C): 0.33–0.45%
  • Silicon (Si): ≤ 1.00%
  • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.50%
  • Chromium (Cr): 15.5–17.5%
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 0.80–1.30%
  • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.030%
  • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.030%
Treatment
  • Forging: Heat slowly and uniformly to 1050–850°C before forging. Reheat if necessary.
  • Annealing: Heat to 740–760°C, hold until uniform temperature is achieved, then cool slowly in the furnace to 550°C before air cooling.
  • Hardening: Preheat to 850–900°C, then heat to 1000–1050°C. Quench in oil or air for best results.
  • Tempering: Heat slowly to 250–400°C according to desired hardness and toughness. Air cool after holding temperature is reached.
  • Polishing: Excellent for high-gloss finish moulds due to its superior polishability and corrosion resistance.
