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.
The SAE steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system (SAE J1086 – Numbering Metals and Alloys) for steel grades maintained by SAE International.. In the 1930s and 1940s, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels.
EN 10027-1 steel grade designation system. European standard steel grade names fall into two categories: [1] Steel specified by purpose of use and mechanical properties. Steel specified by chemical composition. The inclusion of a letter 'G' before the code indicates the steel is specified in the form of a casting.
Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.
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
ASTM A500 defines four grades of carbon steel based primarily on material strength. [1] This is a standard set by the standards organization ASTM International , a voluntary standards development organization that sets technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services.
Tool steel 1.2344 (also known as AISI H13 steel or just H13 [1]) is a tool steel grade standardised for hot working. The main feature of this grade is the combination of alloyed elements of chromium , molybdenum and vanadium , Cr-Mo-V, which provides a high wear resistance to thermal shock.
A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.
