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.
Tool steel. Tool steel is any of various carbon steels and alloy steels that are particularly well-suited to be made into tools and tooling, including cutting tools, dies, hand tools, knives, and others. Their suitability comes from their distinctive hardness, resistance to abrasion and deformation, and their ability to hold a cutting edge at ...
CPM REX 76 (HSS) [53] is super high-speed steel made by the CPM (Crucible Particle Metallurgy) Process. It is heat treatable to HRC 68–70. Its high carbon, vanadium, and cobalt contents provide abrasion resistance comparable to that of T15 and red hardness superior to that of M42. CPM REX 86 (HSS) [54] is super high-speed steel made by the ...
The properties of steel depend on its microstructure: the arrangement of different phases, some harder, some with greater ductility. At the atomic level, the four phases of auto steel include martensite (the hardest yet most brittle), bainite (less hard), ferrite (more ductile), and austenite (the most ductile). The phases are arranged by ...
Maraging steels (a portmanteau of "martensitic" and "aging") are steels that are known for possessing superior strength and toughness without losing ductility. Aging refers to the extended heat-treatment process. These steels are a special class of very-low- carbon ultra-high-strength steels that derive their strength not from carbon, but from ...
Malleable iron. Wrought iron. High-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) is a type of alloy steel that provides better mechanical properties or greater resistance to corrosion than carbon steel. HSLA steels vary from other steels in that they are not made to meet a specific chemical composition but rather specific mechanical properties.
Cutting tool material. Cutting tool materials are materials that are used to make cutting tools which are used in machining ( drill bits, tool bits, milling cutters, etc.) but not other cutting tools like knives or punches . Cutting tool materials must be harder than the material of the workpiece, even at high temperatures during the process.
Tungsten carbide tools can be operated at cutting speeds much higher than high-speed steel (a special steel blend for cutting tools). [7] Tungsten carbide powder was first synthesized by H. Moissan in 1893, and the industrial production of the cemented form started 20 to 25 years later (between 1913 and 1918). [8]
