Tariku Metals, based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has earned a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Tool and Die Steel P20 Bars. Known for their precision engineering and commitment to high material standards, Tariku Metals crafts P20 Bars that offer outstanding toughness, strength, and machinability. By employing cutting-edge metallurgical techniques and rigorous quality control measures, the company guarantees consistent performance and durability in every product they deliver. Designed to comply with both local and international standards, the P20 Bars from Tariku Metals cater to a variety of industries, including plastic molding, tooling, and engineering, providing dependable steel solutions for high-performance manufacturing needs.
The Tool and Die Steel P20 Bars from Tariku Metals are pre-hardened mold-quality steels, featuring a well-balanced mix of carbon (0.28–0.40%), chromium (1.4–2.0%), molybdenum (0.3–0.55%), and manganese (0.6–1.0%). This specific composition results in an excellent blend of strength, toughness, and wear resistance. Typically, the steel reaches a hardness of 28–32 HRC in its supplied condition, offering remarkable machinability and polishability. P20 Bars maintain uniform hardness across large sections, exhibit good dimensional stability, and resist cracking, making them perfect for tooling and mold-making tasks that require long-lasting performance.

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 are not ideal for high-temperature applications. While they offer good toughness and machinability, they have limited resistance to heat compared to steels designed for high-temperature environments.
Tariku Metals’ Tool and Die Steel P20 Bars find extensive application in plastic mold tooling, die casting molds, and extrusion dies. They are particularly well-suited for creating injection molds, blow molds, die holders, and other precision tools where high strength and surface finish are essential. The P20 steel’s ability to retain toughness and polishability makes it ideal for applications that experience frequent thermal cycling and mechanical stress. Moreover, its versatility allows for use in manufacturing automotive components, industrial molds, and various tooling parts that demand durability, machinability, and precise dimensional accuracy.
