1.1730 is a medium-carbon steel commonly used for mold bases, support plates and general-purpose mold components where extremely high wear resistance or corrosion resistance is not the primary requirement.
Its main advantages include good machinability, practical strength and cost efficiency.
For mold manufacturers, 1.1730 can be a practical material choice for structural mold components where a specialized pre-hardened mold steel is not necessary.
Typical applications:
• Mold bases
• Support plates
• General mold components
• Machine and tooling components
Choosing the right steel is not always about selecting the most expensive grade. It is about matching material performance with the actual requirements of the mold.
