Other Materials

HIGH SPEED - These steels are used to produce hardness values in excess of 70 HRC. The ultra hard high-speed steels will demonstrate high impact values. In other words, they are very tough under repeated impact such as milling cutters.

M-SERIES - These steels are employed when higher forging temperatures are being used, as opposed to temperatures used on alloy carbon steels. This group of steels is used for high temperature forging, hot extrusion or hot metal die casting—such as aluminum die casting and magnesium die casting.

T-SERIES -             Tungsten is a very strong carbide former and will produce very high as quenched hardness values. All of the high-speed steels (molybdenum and tungsten) are known as secondary hardening steels. In addition, this group of steels has the ability to cut at red heat without losing its hardness value. The addition of cobalt enables an even higher operating temperature, before losing the as quenched hardness.

MAGNESIUM - Magnesium alloys are very low density (1.7 g/cc) and can be treated to reasonably high strengths. Magnesium alloys are available in both wrought and cast forms. Its low density
