Superplast Stainless offers Plastic & Rubber molds:

  • Improved machinability
  • Improved consistency and weldability

Moreover, thanks to its low Carbon and 12% Chromium content, Superplast Stainless ensures good corrosion resistance, both in humid atmospheres and in corrosive molding environments (PVC).

With its low Carbon and 12% Chromium content, Superplast Stainless offers excellent corrosion resistance in molding, harsh environments and high humidity conditions.

Thanks to its specific chemistry with a low carbon content, high level of chromium, and other appropriate alloying elements, Superplast Stainless offers good corrosion resistance in corrosive molding environments (PVC) and in humid atmospheres.


Humid-dry alternated atmosphere test.

The specific chemical analysis, together with a high Sulfur level, confer an excellent machinability to Superplast Stainless. Performances are definitively improved compared to conventional grades.





Machining test parameters

* HRC Hardness is only indicative value (translation from HB according to ISO 18265 : 2003 table B2)
Superplast Stainless is a martensitic stainless steel offering microstructure and hardness consistency through thickness.


Example in a 100 mm (4”) thick plate.

The low carbon content offers a good aptitude for weld repairs, avoiding any risk of cold cracking when appropriate welding wire is used.
