2085 // Corrosion Resistant Mold Steel

W 1.2085 is a 16%Cr mould steel with improved corrosion resistance properties, thanks to the chromium addition. Furthermore, specific sulfur improves the machinability response. The grade delivered in quenched and tempered condition has a fully bainite martensite microstructure and typical hardness of 320 HB. The grade is not designed for highly polished or etched surfaces. This steel is commonly used for mould steel applications including holders or support plates subjected to wet working and/or storage conditions.
