Cutting Tool Steel Grades

A tough and highly wear resistant grade.

Cutting tool steel grades. Relentless pursuit of better cutting performance ntk takes pride in its carbide grade series. Their outstanding cutting performance is due to the grinding of ultra sharp cutting edges. It has good machinability along with a balance of wear resistance and toughness. The most common applications of a grade tool steels include but are not limited to.

Sharper cutting edges provide for better burr control lower tool pressure holding tighter tolerances and reducing work hardening. High speed steel hss or hs is a subset of tool steels commonly used as cutting tool material. Air hardening a grades this is a very versatile all purpose tool steel that is characterized by low distortion factor during heat treatment due to the increased chromium content. Used for up to 62 hrc hardened steel titanium nickel based alloys and stainless steel at high speeds and medium feeds.

A 2 is an air hardening steel containing a medium amount of alloying material chromium. Astm s steel standards are instrumental in classifying evaluating and specifying the material chemical mechanical and metallurgical properties of the different types of steels which are primarily used in the production of mechanical components industrial parts and construction elements as well as other accessories related to them. It is often used in power saw blades and drill bits it is superior to the older high carbon steel tools used extensively through the 1940s 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. T1000a t1500a uncoated cermet grade.

In addition they have great wear resistance and toughness properties. Typical applications of w grade tool steel include cold heading cutting tools and knives embossing reamers and cutlery. This grade of tool steel is mainly used for items like cutting tools and drills as well as knives and forks. Steel hard alloys and carbon steel at medium to high cutting speeds.

T1500z t2500z coated cermet grades for steel turning. High speed tool steel cutting tools t grade and m grade tool steels are used for cutting tools where strength and hardness must be retained at temperatures up to or exceeding 760 degrees celsius or 1 400 degrees fahrenheit m grade tool steel was developed to reduce the amount of tungsten and chromium required t 1 is the most common t grade. A grade tool steels have a higher content of chromium which results in a better response to heat treatment. The machinability of a grade tool steels is quite good.
