DEX40 Powdered High Speed Steel
Type of steel and characteristics:
Powder Metallurgy produced High Speed Steel with good red hardness, compressive strength and wear resistance. The PM technology imparts to the material also excel lent toughness and machinability properties, e.g. highly satisfactory grindability
Applications:
Heavy-duty machining tools
For machining of steels and non-ferrous metals such as nickel-base and titanium alloys
- shaper cutters
- hobs
- milling cutters
- broaching tools of all types
- taps
- twist drills
- chasing tools
- reamers
- bimetal strips for saw blades
Tools used under extreme compressive stresses
e.g. precision blanking tools for high-strength materials
- shaping punches
- dies
