1806
M-2 Tool
Steel
For use on all high speed tool steel grades including M-1, M-2, M-3 and M-7. High speed tool steels are high-alloy steels designed to cut other materials efficiently at high speeds. All grades of high speed tool steels exhibit the following characteristics. One All grades can be heat treated to very high hardness in some cases 68 Rc. Two all grades have the capacity to maintain high harnesses at elevated temperatures. Three all grades have very good impact toughness.
Ex. Drills, end punches, taps, Broaches, and milling cutters.
Full heat treatment procedures available upon request.

1807
S-7 Tool
Steel
For use on Shock resisting tool steel grades including S-1, S-5 and S-7. Shock resisting grades of tool steels are designed to offer good impact resistance at relatively high harnesses. Offering the toughness to withstand chipping and breaking, combined with high attainable hardness and good wear resistance.
Ex. Shear blades, plastic injection molds and punches and dies subject to heavy impact.
