S136H Tool Steel

S136H is a pre-hardened mirror-finish plastic mold steel launched by ASSAB of Sweden, belonging to the high-chromium stainless alloy series. Its hardness is approximately HRC 30-36 in the factory state and it can be used without heat treatment. It is especially suitable for plastic molds in damp or corrosive environments. This steel has excellent mirror polishing performance and outstanding corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

S136H Tool Steel Mechanical & Performance Properties

Tool Steel Mechanical & Performance Properties

  1. Excellent corrosion resistance: The high-chromium formula performs outstandingly in environments containing PVC, vinyl acetate, and food-grade plastics, ensuring that the mold surface remains rust-free for a long time.
  2. Outstanding mirror polishing performance: polishing can reach Ra ≤ 0.01 μm, suitable for optical molds and transparent product molds.
  3. Wear-resistant and with moderate hardness: The factory hardness is 30-36 HRC, and it can work within the 48-52 HRC range as required by processing. It has both wear-resistant and crack-resistant capabilities.
  4. Good machinability: Compared with common hardened steel, it has a fast processing speed and is easy to be boring, milling, EDM and polished.
