P20 Tool Steel .....Spec???
P20 Tool Steel .....Spec???
(OP)
I am looking for the material properties of 'P20 Tool Steel', namely specific heat, thermal conductivity & density.
I have tried www.matweb.com but nothing listed as such.......are their equivalent names under different standards?
Any help appreciated,
Speedy

DIN 1.2311, 1.2328, or 1.2330
BS 4659 (USA P20)
AFNOR A35-590 2333 35CMD7
Density is 7.85 g/cm^3 (according to ASM HANDBOOK Vol. 1)
I could not find anything on thermal conductivity or specific heat. I am guessing you need this to perform some type of engineering analysis (FEA, solidification analysis, etc.). You may try one of the software vendors to see if they have this in their database-- it is a very common steel grade used in the injection molding industry.

Specific Heat, BTU/lb/°F, from 122 to 212 F was 0.114
Thermal Conductivity, BTU-ft/hr-sq ft-°F, 200°F was 24.7 400°F was 27.5
Density , lb/cu in was 0.284
Of course, this is all on the prehardened, as received tool steel. Remember that P20 is often used carburized, and hence your properties for the case may very well be different.
Good luck!
