Estimating the term…
A steel which is suitable for the material of a mold used for plastic molding and which has an improved resistance to corrosion under exposure to a halogen gas generated in injection molding of a thermoplastic synthetic resin blended with a halogen-containing flame-retarding agent is obtained by shaping a steel which consists essentially of up to 0.05% carbon, up to 1.0% silicon, up to 2.0% manganese, 5.0-8.0% nickel, 11.0-15.0% chromium, 1.0-4.0% molybdenum, 0.5-4.0% copper, 0.5-2.0% cobalt and the balance iron into a mold, and then subjecting the mold to age-hardening treatment at a temperature in the range of 400.degree.-450.degree. C. to obtain a hardness of H.sub.R C 30 or higher. The steel may further contain a small, predetermined amount of at least one machinability-improving component such as lead, tellurium, calcium and bismuth and/or a small, predetermined amount of at least one toughness or hardness-improving component such as tungsten, boron, titanium, vanadium, niobium and tantalum.
A massive martensite steel for a mold for plastic molding consisting of up to 0.05% carbon, up to 1.0% silicon, up to 2.0% manganese, 5.0-8.0% nickel, 11.0-15.0% chromium, 1.0-4.0% molybdenum, 0.5-4.0% copper, 0.5-2.0% cobalt, at least one machinability-improving component selected from the group consisting of 0.03-0.30% lead, 0.01-0.20% tellurium, 0.002-0.020% calcium, and 0.03-0.40% bismuth, at least one toughness and hardenability-improving component selected from the group consisting of up to 3.0% tungsten, up to 0.01% boron, up to 0.5% titanium, up to 0.5% vanadium, up to 0.5% niobium, and up to 0.5% tantalum, and the balance iron and inevitable impurities, which exhibits a hardness of H.sub.R C 30 or higher after age-hardening treatment at 450.degree.-550.degree. C. and resistance to corrosion by halogen gas.
