1.2294 - AT A GLANCE

What kind of steel is the 1.2294?
Teh 1.2294 (~X5CrS12) is a pre-hardened, corrosion resistant plastic mould steel which is easily machined and magnetisable. Due to its low carbon content this steel grade is easy to weld. It has a good resistance to agressive plastics as well as humid conditions. Further heat treatent is not intended for this tool steel grade.

Properties
The 1.2294 is a versatile and high performance steel which can be used for mechanical engineering as well as in the autootive industry, for water valves and surgical instruments.
