High speed steel is a group of alloyed tool steels with a carbon content of up to 2.06% and a proportion of alloying elements (tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt, nickel and titanium) of up to 30%. This steel is also known under HSS (according to EN ISO 4957 HS).
High speed steel – characteristics:
- great hardness
- wear resistance
- eat resistance up to 600°C
- tempering resistance
- corrosion resistance
Applications:
High speed steels are mainly used in machining in machine tools. Examples of these tools are drills, turning tools, milling cutters, thread cutting tools, saw blades and much more.
