M42 is a molybdenum-series high-speed steel alloy with an additional 8% cobalt. [14] It is widely used in metal manufacturing industries because of its superior red-hardness as compared to more conventional high-speed steels, allowing for shorter cycle times in production environments due to higher cutting speeds or from the increase in time ...
Hiduminium or R.R. alloys (2% copper, iron, nickel): used in aircraft pistons Hydronalium (up to 12% magnesium, 1% manganese): used in shipbuilding, resists seawater corrosion Italma (3.5% magnesium, 0.3% manganese): formerly used to make coinage of the Italian lira
Manganese steel Manganese steel has medium length sparks that fork twice before ending. [5] High-speed steel High-speed steel has a faint red spark that sparks at the tip. [5] 300-series stainless steel These sparks are not so dense as the carbon steel sparks, do not fork, and are orange to straw in color. [2] 310-series stainless steel
CPM REX 20 (HS) [49] is a cobalt-free super high-speed steel made by the CPM process. CPM REX 45 (HS) [50] is an 8% cobalt modification of M3 high speed steel made by the CPM process. As of September 2018, this steel was used in some limited-run production knives from Spyderco.

Electrical steel (E-steel, lamination steel, silicon electrical steel, silicon steel, relay steel, transformer steel) is speciality steel used in the cores of electromagnetic devices such as motors, generators, and transformers because it reduces power loss. It is an iron alloy with silicon as the main additive element (instead of carbon).
Steel of about 0.8% C gets as hard as steel with more carbon, but the free iron carbide particles in 1% or 1.25% carbon steel make it hold an edge better. However, the fine edge probably rusts off faster than it wears off, if it is used to cut acidic or salty materials.
HSLA steel cross-sections and structures are usually 20 to 30% lighter than a carbon steel with the same strength. [3] [4] HSLA steels are also more resistant to rust than most carbon steels because of their lack of pearlite – the fine layers of ferrite (almost pure iron) and cementite in pearlite. [5]
