High Speed Steel Cutting Tools

High speed steel cutting tools m2 m7 high speed steel is the most economical material that can be manufactured into any type of tool needed.

High speed steel cutting tools.

It is often used in power saw blades and drill bits it is superior to the older high carbon steel tools used extensively through the 1940s in that it can withstand higher temperatures without losing its temper hardness this property allows hss to cut faster than high carbon steel hence the name. High speed steel is a high carbon tool steel containing a large dose of tungsten. High speed cutting tools work well on all materials and can be coated to provide even better performance for particular materials. 18 tungsten 4 chromium 1 vanadium 0 7 carbon and the rest iron.

Travers tool offers a wide range of high speed steel hss solid carbide cutting tools. High speed steel hss was developed in the second half of the nineteenth century. We are an industry leader in the cutting tool business and have all of the tools and expertise you are looking for. Crucible steel was awarded a patent for the first recognized high speed steel in 1910.

A typical hss composition is. High speed steel hss or hs is a subset of tool steels commonly used as cutting tool material. High speed steels exhibit high strength and hardness but typically exhibit lower toughness than the cold work tool steels. Hss high speed steels still playing a very significant role in metal cutting.
