1.2316 - AT A GLANCE
What kind of steel is the 1.2316?
Steel grade 1.2316 is a high alloyed chromium steel which is often used for chemically agressive plastic materials like PVC for example.
Properties
Tool steel 1.2316 (X38CrMo16) is not only a good choice in many industries and demanding applications for its corrosion resitance. Because of the added molybdenum offers assistance to its hardenability and wear resistance as well as its longevity and performance. These and many other properties make this steel a very good choice when precision is the main factor.
