2. Thermal lance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_lance

   Uses. cutting, heavy demolition. A thermal lance, thermic lance, oxygen lance, or burning bar is a tool that heats and melts steel in the presence of pressurized oxygen to create very high temperatures for cutting. It consists of a long steel tube packed with alloy steel rods, which serve as fuel; these are sometimes mixed with aluminum rods to ...

3. Broaching (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broaching_(metalworking)

   Broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material. There are two main types of broaching: linear and rotary. In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run linearly against a surface of the workpiece to produce the cut. Linear broaches are used in a broaching machine, which ...

7. High-speed steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_steel

   High-speed steel. High-speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, commonly used as cutting tool material. It is superior to high- carbon steel tools 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 high-speed steel.
