DIMO C45 (EN 1.0503)

DIMO C45 (EN 1.0503) introduction

DIMO C45 is an unalloyed carbon tool steel for the construction of plastic mold assemblies.

DIMO C45 is supplied in a stress relieved condition with a normalized ferrite-pearlite-microstructure.
The normalizing can be replaced by a normalizing rolling. Cut edges are stress relieved by an
appropriate heat treatment.

DIMO C45 is a modified version of C45 in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4957 (steel number 1.1730),
DIN EN 10083-2 (steel number 1.0503 or 1.1191) respectively Grade 1045 in accordance with ASTM
A 830 in holderblock quality.

Equivalent material: EN 1.1730, EN C45, EN 1.0503, EN 1.1191, DIN 1.1730, DIN C45, DIN 1.0503, DIN 1.1191, ASTM Grade 1045, AISI 1045
