DIMO 2312 (EN 1.2312)

DIMO 2312 (EN 1.2312) introduction

DIMO 2312 is a hardened CrMnMoS-alloyed tool steel for the construction of plastic molds with lower
surface requirements referring to e.g. polishability and photoetchability. DIMO 2312 is characterized by
excellent machinability and high dimensional stability.

DIMO 2312 is a modified version of 1.2312 according to Stahl-Eisen-Liste, respectively 40CMD8+S
according to NF A 35590, 40CrMnNiMo8-6-4 according to DIN EN ISO 4957 and a modified version of
P20 according to ASTM A681.

Equivalent material: EN 40CrMnNiMo8-6-4, DIN 40CrMnNiMo8-6-4, ASTM Grade P20, NF 40CMD8+S
