Tool Steel Supplier

M2 Tool Steel | 1.3343 | HS-6-5-2C| SKH51 AISI  M2 Tool Steel  is molybdenum based high-speed steel in tungsten–molybdenum series.  HSS  grade steel  M2  is a medium alloyed high speed steel which has good machinability. The H-SS M2 chemical composition gives a good combination of well-balanced toughness, wear resistance and red hardness properties. Widely used for cutting tools such as twist drills, taps, milling cutters, saws, knives etc. Also commonly used in cold work punches and dies and cutting applications involving high speed and light cuts. Grade M2 High Speed Steel is by far the most popular high speed steel replacing high speed steel grade  T1  in most applications because of its superior properties and relative economy. We are one of leading AISI M2 HSS steel supplier and we can offer better quality and M2 alloy steel price for your various applications. 1. Supply Range of M2  tool steel  High Speed M2 Ste...

What is T1 High Speed tool steel ? AISI/ASTM T1 tool steel is one of the original tungsten high speed steels, although all tungsten steel grades are used to a limited extent because of the cost and questionable availability of tungsten. Of the T group steels, the general purpose T1 tool steels and the high-vanadium-cobalt T15 are most commonly used. T1 high speed steel is an air or oil hardening tool steel which has good comprehensive performance.  HSS  T1 tool steel has a high hardness (HRC62~66), strength, toughness and heat resistance, which is an excellent cutting tool material. T-1 tool steel grade is on the whole used for turning, planning & slotting instruments, tapes, twist drill, threading dies, profile slicing instruments, broaching instruments & reamers. Generally, high speed steels are divided into  three groups : Those bearing the symbol T where tungsten is the major alloying element; Those bearing the symbol M indicating that molybdenum...

What is Tool Steel? Tool steel is a type of carbon alloy steel. As you can guess from the name, it is often used to make, modify or repair hand tools or machine dies. Tool steels are notable for their hardness, resistance to abrasion and deformation. They can retain a cutting edge at very high temperatures which is why they are often used in the shaping of other materials through cutting, pressing, coining or extruding. Their resistance to abrasion lends to their use in the production of injection molds. Groups of Tool Steel Tool steels are categorized in six groups. The choice of group depends on factors of strength toughness, surface hardness, shock resistance, working temperature, and cost. The six groups are: Water-hardening Cold-work Shock-resisting High-speed Hot-work Special purpose How is Tool Steel Made? The manufacture of tool steels takes place under carefully controlled conditions to produce the required quality. Tool steel has a carbon content of b...
