CONVENTIONAL HIGH SPEED STEEL |
|
|
High Speed Steels are high-performance special steels combining high toughness and high hardness levels, thanks to susbstantial proportions of elements like tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium and chromium which are able to form carbides. To improve hot hardness, cobalt may also be added.
High Speed Steels also have a high yield limit, high fatigue strength and high fracture strength and are suitable when abrasive/adhesive wear resistance is required.
Thanks to these properties, High Speed Steels are widely used in many applications: cutting tools (drills, endmills, taps, reamers etc.), saws, knives, cold- & hot-work tooling and wear parts.
