Steel 2358
1. Product Introduction
As a professional who is involved in the manufacturing industry, I know the importance of using high-quality materials for building durable and reliable products. One material that has gained my attention recently is Steel 2358, a premium grade steel that offers excellent toughness and wear resistance. In this post, I will be discussing the features of Steel 2358 and the benefits that it offers for manufacturing companies, particularly for mold making.
Steel 2358 is a low carbon steel that is specifically designed for mold making and tooling applications. It is an alloy steel that contains carbon, manganese, silicon, chromium, and molybdenum, all of which contribute to its exceptional mechanical properties. The most notable feature of Steel 2358 is its high toughness, which allows it to withstand heavy impact and loading without cracking or breaking. Its wear resistance is also remarkable, making it an ideal choice for applications that involve friction and abrasion.
The use of Steel 2358 offers significant benefits to manufacturing companies, particularly to those involved in mold making. Here are some of the advantages of this steel:
Superior toughness and wear resistance: Steel 2358 exhibits high toughness and wear resistance, which make it an ideal material for manufacturing molds that can withstand repeated and heavy impact without sustaining damages.
Easy machinability: Steel 2358 is also known for its excellent machinability which enables the efficient production of molds with complex shapes and sizes.
Lower production costs: Steel 2358’s machinability combined with its high toughness and wear resistance reduces tooling and mold making time, which lowers the production cost.
Longer tool life: Due to its wear resistance, Steel 2358 can last longer than other steels, thereby resulting in fewer tool changes and lower tooling costs.
Kaihua Mold, a leading mold manufacturer in China, utilizes Steel 2358 for its premium quality molds. The company recognizes the value of Steel 2358 in creating high-quality molds that can withstand the demands of various industries, including automotive, electronics, and medical.
In conclusion, Steel 2358 is a game-changer in the manufacturing industry, particularly in mold making and tooling applications. Its superior toughness and wear resistance combined with easy machinability and longer tool life reduce production costs and enhance product quality. Therefore, it is highly recommended that companies invest in Steel 2358 to improve their manufacturing processes and to create the highest quality products.

A: Sure, We could do finished product according the customized mold. And make the mold also.
Q: Can I test my idea/product before committing to mould tool manufacture?
A: Sure, we can use CAD drawings to make models and prototyping for design and functional evaluations.
Q: Can you do Assemble?
A: Of cause we could do. Our factory with assembly room.
Q: What shall we do if we do not have drawings?
A: Please send your sample to our factory,then we can copy or provide you better solutions. Please send us pictures or drafts with dimensions(Length,Hight,Width),CAD or 3D file will be made for you if placed order.
Q: What type of mould tool do I need?
A: Mould tools can be either single cavity (one part at a time) or multi-cavity (2,4, 8 or 16 parts at a time). Single cavity tools are generally used for small quantities, up to 10,000 parts per year whereas multi-cavity tools are for larger quantities. We can look at your projected annual requirements and recommend which would be best for you.
Q: I have an idea for a new product, but not sure if it can be manufactured. Can you help?
A: Yes! We are always happy to work with potential customers to evaluate the technical feasibility of your idea or design and we can advise on materials, tooling and likely set-up costs.
