Swiss Steel Group says it is continually developing specialty steels to combat highly corrosive injection molding environments, while also improving mold steel machinability and dimensional stability. The company offers Corroplast, its free-machining stainless steel mold base material as an example. The pre-hardened steel combines a special chemical composition with a special heat-treatment process, and is said to be an ideal material to resist corrosion associated with high-humidity environments and when corrosive resins are used in production.
Corroplast also exhibits reduced carbon for improved weldability, and is characterized by low internal stress. It can also be used for mold inserts, provided that standard demands on the engraved surface are applied.
Swiss Steel will be available to discuss technical challenges regarding mold steel selection and proper heat treatment solutions at Amerimold 2021.
