• Well resistant to Ductility at elevated temperature
• Excellent capability for shearing leading to capability for shearing of all kinds of metals
• Low resistance to decarburization
• Nitriding Capability
• Good capable for PVD surface treatment

Distribution Formats

• ANNEALED with hardness at  255  HB Max

Hardening

• Hardening temperature at 1090C -1230C. Hardening substances used: oil and air. Hardness obtained after hardening 64 HRC

• Tempering temperature at 500C-700C. Hardness obtained after hardening at 56-64 HRC

Applications        

High speed tool steel is popular due to its capability of being used in a wide range of works  including machining and shearing all kinds of metals, molding,  stamping, deep drawing, and plastic moldings requiring high adhesive wear
