Injection molding is used to mass-produce parts by injecting thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics under a high pressure into a mold.
Steel cost is minimal compared to the total cost of making a mold. However, the right steel can produce substantial savings both in the making of the mold and in the production of the plastic parts through reduced mold maintenance, longer mold service life, simplified mold repair, higher productivity, better overall quality and fewer part defects.
Industeel offers a wide range of standard steel grades for moldmaking and also special steels (SUPERPLAST®) providing specific properties, in particular concerning machinability, homogeneity, weldability and thermal conductivity.
And remember, we have extensive experience and know-how in mold steels. If you are not sure which steel is best suited to your needs, why not give us a call.

A wide variety of tools are required in industry for cutting, shearing, stamping, extrusion, forging and die-casting operations.
To make these tools, you need steels combining specific properties, in particular hardness, wear resistance, toughness, cracking resistance and machinability. The right steel also depends on the usage of the tool, i.e. cold work (cutting, shearing and stamping) or hot work (forging and die-casting).
Industeel offers a wide range of standard steel grades for toolmaking and also special steels (TENASTEEL®) which might enable you to make substantial savings with longer tool life time. And remember, we have extensive experience and know-how in tool steels. If you are not sure which steel is best suited to your needs, why not give us a call.
