Product Description

 

Lucchini 2343 is the pioneer Chromium-Molybdenum- Vanadium alloyed steel designed for the manufacturing 
of dies, moulds, punches and other components subjected to high working temperatures. Lucchini 2343 is 
one of the most used and appreciated steels for the production of dies and moulds subjected to high working 
temperature. Lucchini 2343 is obtained through a special 'super clean' manufacturing process, which allows a 
high level of micro-purity.
LUCCHINI  2343 represents one of the most important tough options, for highly resistant plastic moulds that 
need very high pressure strength, excellent resistance to abrasion, also in combination with different surface 
coatings, and improved toughness in the meantime.
If subjected to suitable hardening, followed by at least two suitable tempers, LUCCHINI 2343 can reach a 
hardness of 50 HRC without affecting the toughness. 
In order to improve further the mechanical characteristics of the surface, LUCCHINI 2343 can be coated with 
PVD or PA/ CVD methods. 
Alternatively it can be subjected to nitriding: this allows a hardness value of the nitrided layer up to about 900-
1000 HV.
