Precision. Durability. Performance.
High-Speed Steel (HSS)
High-speed steel HSS is a specialized tool steel engineered for high-speed machining, offering exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance. Produced using clean steel technology, it is commonly used in cutting tools like drills, end mills, taps, and broaches due to its ability to retain sharpness at elevated temperatures.
Just as understanding how are steel billets made is crucial for structural steel, advanced powder metallurgy is key for high speed steel HSS. Composed of tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium, and cobalt, it ensures superior performance even at over 500°C (932°F), enhancing durability and tool life.
Widely used in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, high speed steel HSS enables higher cutting speeds and longer tool life. As one of the sustainable metal recycling companies in india, we ensure our manufacturing processes minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency.
