AISI M42

M42 is a molybdenum-cobalt high-speed steel capable of being hardened to 70 Rockwell C. The carbon content is higher than in most high-speed steels, and with this balanced composition, contributes to wear resistance and hot hardness as well as the high hardness capability. M42 exhibits good grindability and relatively good toughness at high hardness levels. M42 is being used for the machining of heat treated materials (high hardness) and high temperature alloys.

TYPICALAPPLICATIONS

Broaches, Circular and Dovetail Form Tools, Drills, End Mills, Lathe Tools, Milling Cutters, Punches, Reamers, Slitting Saws, and Twist Drills.

AISI T15 (PM)

T15 PM is a tungsten high-speed steel designed for use in machining operations requiring heavy cuts, high speeds and feeds. Its primary use is in applications requiring the machining of high-hardness heat-treated materials such as high temperature alloys. The high carbon, vanadium, and cobalt contents contribute to good wear resistance, hot hardness and good hardness capabilities. T15 PM is produced by the powder metallurgy process which has resulted in improved quality from the standpoint of structural uniformity, response to heat treatment and grindability. These factors, along with increased toughness, are increased usage in the industry because of its recognized superior cutting ability.
