SS5734 M2 High-speed Steel Powder

M2 High-speed Steel Powder Description

M2 High-speed Steel Powder is a specialized form of powdered metal that consists primarily of M2 high-speed steel. M2 high-speed steel is a type of tool steel known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and ability to maintain its cutting edge at high temperatures. It is widely used in the manufacturing of cutting tools, such as drills, taps, milling cutters, and reamers.

The powdered form of M2 high-speed steel allows for the production of complex shapes with precise control over material properties. This makes it suitable for advanced manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing (e.g., selective laser melting or powder metallurgy), where components with intricate geometries and high performance are required.

M2 High-speed Steel Powder FAQs

Q1: What sets HSS M2 apart from M35?

M35, also known as Cobalt Steel, HSSE, or HSS-E, shares similarities with M2 but boasts an additional 5% cobalt content. This infusion of cobalt enhances M35's cutting prowess, allowing it to cut faster and endure longer than its M2 counterpart.

Q2: Is M2 steel suitable for knife making?

M2 steel, categorized as a semi-high-speed steel, offers commendable wear resistance, making it suitable for shorter production runs. With an average Rockwell hardness of 63Rc, M2 HSS provides approximately 25% longer runtime compared to D2, thanks to its tungsten and molybdenum additives.

Q3: Does M2 tool steel corrode?

While M2 stands as a favored high-speed steel renowned for its finer grain structure and superior edge retention, it lacks robust corrosion resistance. As a result, M2 tool steel is susceptible to rusting when exposed to moisture and corrosive environments.
