Steels for plastic moulding

The plastic molding steel from the Swiss Steel Group possesses two essential characteristics. On the one hand, it ensures the highest quality of steel, and on the other hand, the steel properties can be individually and optimally tailored to the diverse requirements of the tool or the plastic product. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, our plastic molding steel meets the highest standards in terms of:

• Purity
• Polishability
• Uniformity in hardness and microstructure
• Wear resistance
• Temperature resistance
• Machinability
• Toughness and hardness

• Thermal conductivity

   

Furthermore, our active and certified quality assurance system (ISO 14001, DIN EN ISO 9001, QS 9000, VDA 6.1 TS 16949, KTA 1401) enables the production of individually customized steel with consistently high quality.

The tools used in plastic processing exhibit significant differences in both their requirements and functionalities. The selection and treatment of steel play a crucial role in the quality and cost-effectiveness of plastic production.

Therefore, we have an experienced team of specialists for plastic mold tool steel. In close collaboration with the toolmaker, they define the optimal steel quality for the specific requirements of the final plastic product. We leverage the expertise of our steel specialists, modern production facilities, and decades of experience in all areas of heat treatment.

The advantages for the toolmaker include:

• High purity
• Excellent polishability
• Best etchability
• Uniform microstructure
• Optimal machinability
• Reproducible heat treatment
• Shortest delivery times
• Expert advice
• Development of new steel
