1.2085 - x33crs16 tool steel from stock - Stahlhandel Gröditz GmbH

Corrosion-resistant tool steel with sulphur for plastic molds as well as aggressive plastics and for application fields, where a corrosion resistance, good machinability and good mechanical properties are important. The same properties like 1. with the addition of sulphur.

Jiebao contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

This steel is mainly used in processes with chemically aggressive and acidic thermoplastics, PVC-aminoplastics, plastics for injection mold inserts or for special machine parts in the food industry.
Used also in the application field of the automobile industry and machine construction.

The processing with the saw is a mechanical processing of the material, which results in a significantly lower unintended deformation and increased hardness for the existing structure, such as the thermal cutting.

Thus, the machined workpiece has a homogeneous structure even at the edge, which does not change in the continuation of the material.
This circumstance allows immediate finishing of the workpiece with milling or drilling . So it is not necessary to anneal the material or make a similar operation beforehand.

Factors to Consider When Working with KDA1 Steel

As a kind of structural steel alloy, KDA 1 meets specific steel standards for durability, strength, and weldability. However, not all steel suppliers offer equal quality. Here is a briefing on what you can expect from the best quality KDA1 steel suppliers.

Why KDA 1?

It is an HSLA or high-strength, low-alloy steel variety. It gives a minimal yield strength of about 355megapascals (MPa). This is equal to the strength of 51,000 of pound force per inches (psi). Also, the minimal tensile strength of 510 MPa or 74,000 psi makes it a relatively hard steel variety for various industrial applications.

About its Composition

Typically, the best variety of metals from leading KDA1 suppliers would contain up to 0.20% carbon, 1.60% manganese,  0.045% phosphorus,  0.60% silicon, 0.045% sulphur, 0.30% chromium, 0.30% nickel, 0.30% copper and 0.20% molybdenum. While deciding on a steel supplier, you need to make certain that the material they offer has the required chemical composition. You can ask for the latest inspection reports from any supplier.  The reports would preferably come from 3rd party inspection and quality control agencies.

Industries it caters to

KDA1 type of steel is mostly suitable for industries like:

• Industrial equipment, including vessel and machinery.
• Construction, such as bridges, roads and buildings.
• Oil & gas-related products, such as storage tanks, pipelines and similar applications.
• Automotive industry.
• Shipbuilding and allied industries.

Compliance with the Standards

Some of the most trusted KDA1 steel suppliers in India, such as Kushal Metals, meet the standard of quality as set by various international agencies. These include:

• ASTM A572 Grade 50.
• DIN St52-3.
• EN -2 S355JR.
• ISO 630-2 S355C, and , , , and the like.
• JIS G SS490.

The Direct Benefits

Mechanics often choose KDA1 steel over the others because:

• It offers a better ratio of strength to weight. This makes the components made from this material lightweight, yet durable. This, in turn, makes the items economical and easier to transport.
• Good weldability makes the metal easier to fabricate. Also, the products have stronger joints and fewer defects.
• The metal is resistant to corrosion, thus ensuring the shelf life of the products made from it.
• The fact that KDA1 steel requires low maintenance, it invites less stress and can also be an economic solution in the long run.

Partnering with the Right Supplier

While researching the most competent local KDA1 supplier, you need to:

• Shortlist the names of the most sought-after service providers that serve locally.
• Check how many of them have the most stable track record.
• See whether they have the necessary certifications. Your supplier would ideally have credentials like Mill test certificates or MTCs and CE or Conformité Européene marking.
• Never hesitate to clarify your questions about the quality control policy of the company that you want to partner with.
• Verify the critical aspects like length tolerance, thickness and width of your products.

If possible, physically check the samples of the product that you want to order. Finally, you should remember that very few buyers can get wrong with an experienced supplier, and someone which is backed by a supportive customer care.
