Ellwood Specialty Steel Co., a steel supplier with divisions serving the U.S., Mexico and Canada, introduces its superior P20-modified grade of mold steel to the mold-building industry and Amerimold 2021 attendees. Improved lens/texture quality (LTQ) alloy offers highly consistent surface finishing properties. Recognizing the increased demands for flawless diamond polish finishes on lens molds and complex geometric and delicate texture patterns, Ellwood says its metallurgists have engineered a steel that will perform to a user’s most stringent requirements. According to Ellwood, the P20 LTQ material is said to be the first steel to be fully qualified to General Motors’ GMQ 18157 mold steel specification.
Employing a newly developed chemistry, state-of-the art re-melting facilities, a proven forging process and a tightly-controlled heat treatment, Ellwood contends that this through-hardened steel meets all challenges. In addition to consistent surface finishing, the thermal conductivity, machinability and welding properties can also be relied upon.
