Physical and Mechanical Properties
Soft annealing °C:820 – 860
Hardening °C: 1160-1190
Thermal expansion at 20-200° C: 9.7 10⁶m/(m*K)
Hardness, Rockwell C: 66 HRC.
Applications
For tools having severe mechanical abrasion. Particularly suitable for die-sinking cutters, milling cutters and engraving machines including gravers as well as for tool bits in automatic lathes. Also suitable for non-cutting shapings such as cold extrusion rams and titanium alloys.
Features
Characterized by excessive put on resistance, red hardness and durability.
Easier to grind than most high speed steel.
