Material Selection Guide: P20 vs CR12MOV Tool Steel
Choosing the right steel grade is critical for mold performance and production costs. Here is a comparison between P20 (Plastic Mold Steel) and CR12MOV (Cold Work Die Steel) to help you select the best material for your application.
Feature
P20 Steel (3Cr2Mo)
CR12MOV Steel (D2/SKD11 Equivalent)
Primary Use
Plastic Injection Molding
Metal Stamping & Blanking
Steel Category
Pre-hardened Plastic Mold Steel
High Carbon High Chromium Cold Work Steel
Hardness (Delivery)
Pre-hardened to 28-36 HRC (Ready to use)
Annealed (Soft, ~ HB 217-255) or Vacuum Hardened (58-62 HRC)
Key Property
Excellent polishability, good toughness, and machinability.
Extreme wear resistance, high compressive strength, and dimensional stability.
Heat Treatment
Usually no further heat treatment required before use.
Requires Vacuum Hardening to achieve working hardness.
Application Case
Automotive bumpers, dashboard molds, PVC pipe fittings.
Stamping dies for hardware, punches, shear blades, cold extrusion tools.
Summary Recommendation:
Choose P20 if you are manufacturing plastic parts. It saves you processing time because it comes pre-hardened.
Choose CR12MOV if you are manufacturing metal hardware or need extreme wear resistance for cutting/drawing operations. We supply CR12MOV round bars that are already vacuum heat treated to ensure high precision and durability for your stamping dies.
