High Speed Steel Cutting Tools

Hss high speed steels still playing a very significant role in metal cutting.

High speed steel cutting tools.

The ability to maintain the hardness required for cutting while at this temperature is a property known as red hardness or hot hardness and it is the primary defining characteristic of high speed steels. 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. A typical hss composition is. 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.
