High-Speed Steel
Suitable for high-speed cutting tools; stable red hardness and wear resistance.
Product Overview
High-speed steel is used for high-speed cutting tools. With good red hardness, wear resistance and toughness, it maintains cutting-edge performance under medium-to-high speed cutting conditions. It is commonly used to manufacture circular saw blades, milling cutters, drill bits and turning tools.
Typical Use Cases
- Circular Saw Blade
- Milling Cutter
- Drill Bit
- Turning Tool
- Cutting Blade
