Similar Steel Grade-DIN/W.Nr. 1.2311, GB 3Cr2Mo
P20 is a pre-hardened high tensile tool steel which offers ready machineability in the hardened and tempered condition, therefore does not require further heat treatment. This eliminates the risks, cost, and waiting time of heat treatment thus avoiding the associated possibility of distortion or even cracking. Subsequent component modifications can easily be carried out.
