1.2085 Steel Properties Corrosion resistance: 1.2085 steel has a high chromium content that provides excellent corrosion resistance properties, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. Wear resistance: Due to its high carbon content, 1.2085 steel has excellent wear resistance properties, making it suitable for use in applications where components are subjected to high levels of wear and tear. Hardness: 1.2085 steel is a high-hardness steel grade that can be hardened to a Rockwell hardness of up to 56 HRC, making it suitable for use in applications where high levels of hardness are required. Toughness: Despite its high hardness, 1.2085 steel exhibits good toughness, making it resistant to chipping and cracking. Machinability: 1.2085 steel is relatively easy to machine, making it suitable for use in applications where complex shapes and designs are required. Applications of DIN 1.2085 Grade Material Mold frames, tools for processing corrosive plastics. This steel is recommended where good corrosion resistance and workability are the primary requirements. This steel is commonly used in mold steel applications, including brackets or support plates that are subjected to wet processing and/or storage conditions. This grade is also used in the manufacture of corrosive materials such as PVC, components, and plastic molds.
