Kanish Metals is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of Tool and Die Steel P20 bars in Dubai, UAE, dealing in top-quality steel products specifically suited to mold and die use. With excellent machinability, toughness, and polishability, P20 steel bars are commonly used in the plastic injection molding sector. Kanish Metals makes it a point to supply P20 bars that are at par with international standards in terms of consistency, mechanical characteristics, and dimensional accuracy. Supplying to industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, Kanish Metals offers quality P20 steel bars with prompt delivery and meticulous customer care.
Tool and Die Steel P20 bars are produced using pre-hardened, low-alloy steel that has around 0.28–0.35% carbon, with the addition of chromium, molybdenum, and manganese. This alloy is in a good balance of hardness, hardness (usually 28–32 HRC), and machinability. P20 steel bars have great dimensional stability under heat treatment and are easy to polish, hence suitable for mold components that need fine surface finishes. Their wear resistance and strength help deliver long tool life in harsh molding applications.

When choosing P20 tool and die steel bars, consider machinability, toughness, hardness, heat treatment capabilities, corrosion resistance, application requirements, cost-effectiveness, and availability of suitable sizes for your specific needs.
Tool and die steel P20 bars are typically sized by their diameter and length, with common diameters ranging from 1 inch to 10 inches, and lengths ranging from 10 to 20 feet.
Tool and Die Steel P20 bars find extensive application in industrial use that necessitates long-lasting and accurate mold components. They are best suited to produce plastic injection molds, die casting molds, and other tooling where polishability and toughness are of importance. The automotive industry and consumer goods industries depend on P20 steel bars for high-quality mold bases, cores, and cavities. Moreover, P20 bars also find application in making general-purpose tooling with good machinability and sufficient wear resistance. P20 steel bars provide consistent performance and extended service life in diverse molding and tooling applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
