Abstract

Disclosed is a steel for plastics molds superior in weldability. The steel consists essentially of C: 0.1 to 0.3%, Mn: 0.5 to 3.5%, Cr: 1.0 to 3.0%, Mo:0.03 to 2.0%, V:0.1 to 1.0% and S: 0.01 to 0.10%; Si: not more than 0.25%, P: not more than 0.2%, and B: not more than 0.002%; the balance being substantially Fe. The alloy composition should satisfy the following formula: EQU BH=326.0+847.3 (C%)+18.3 (Si%) -8.6 (Mn%)-12.5 (Cr%).ltoreq.460 The steel can be welded in the process of manufacturing a plastics mold without reqiring preheating and postheating.
