Garg Steels, a top-notch manufacturer and supplier based in Chennai, India, specializes in high-quality Tool and Die Steel P20 Bars, crafted specifically for plastic mold tooling and general die applications. These pre-hardened bars are designed to provide outstanding toughness, polishability, and consistent hardness across large cross-sections. With cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and rigorous quality controls, Garg Steels guarantees that their P20 Bars meet international standards for performance and reliability. Available in a range of sizes and custom specifications, these bars are a go-to choice in the toolmaking, automotive, and plastic molding industries, ensuring precision and durability.
Tool and Die Steel P20 Bars consist of about 0.28–0.40% carbon, 1.40–2.00% chromium, 0.30–0.55% manganese, 0.60–1.00% molybdenum, and 0.70–1.00% nickel. These alloying elements boost strength, toughness, and hardenability. Typically, P20 is delivered in a pre-hardened state with a hardness range of 28–32 HRC, providing good machinability and dimensional stability. The steel also boasts excellent polishability, making it perfect for molds that require a fine surface finish. Garg Steels maintains a consistent chemical composition and mechanical performance, catering to industries that demand high-strength, pre-hardened tool steels.
