High Speed Steel

M2 High-Speed Steel is a tungsten-molybdenum (Mo-W) based tool steel known for its excellent balance of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. As the most commonly used grade of high-speed steel, M2 is widely utilized in industrial applications requiring high cutting performance and heat resistance.

It is specifically engineered to withstand the intense conditions of high-speed machining, retaining its hardness even at elevated temperatures â?? a property known as red hardness. Thanks to its versatility and cost-effectiveness, M2 HSS is used extensively in the manufacturing of cutting tools, such as drills, end mills, taps, and saw blades.

With good machinability in its annealed state and superior performance after heat treatment, M2 remains a preferred material for both manual and CNC machining tools.
