Good machinability, polishable, weldable and can easily be textured. TS 2738 HH is either available at a hardness of 280 325 HB or 310 355 HB. This grade offers substantial improvements, especially for building larger and complex moulds. Specific modifications of the grade's components as well as additional smelting and secondary metallurgy ensure TS 2738 HH's outstanding properties. TS 2738 HH is highly suitable for large-format plastic injection and extrusion moulds with deep engraving and high demands on core strength, such as with bumpers, tailgates, fenders, spoilers, instrument panels and TV housings to name a few. At a supplied hardness of 310 355 HB, maximum wear resistance is guaranteed. at C 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 10-6 m/(m K) 11.1 12.9 13.4 13.5 13.8 14.1 14.3 at C 20 3 36.0 37.4 33.0
