HSS Tools

We have been counted amongst the most trusted names in this domain involved in providing HSS Cutting Tool. This HSS Cutting Tool is available in different sizes and shapes according to the demands of customers. Furthermore, our product range is known for its corrosion resistant nature and dimensional accuracy.

HSS tools are so named because they were developed to cut at higher speeds. Developed around 1900 HSS are the most highly alloyed tool steels. The tungsten (T series) were developed first and typically contain 12 – 18% tungsten, plus about 4% chromium and 1 – 5% vanadium. Most grades contain about 0.5% molybdenum and most grades contain 4 – 12% cobalt. It was soon discovered that molybdenum (smaller proportions)could be substituted for most of the tungsten resulting in a more economical formulation which had better abrasion resistance than the T series and undergoes less distortion during heat treatment. Consequently about 95% of all HSS tools are made from M series grades. These contain 5 – 10% molybdenum, 1.5 – 10% tungsten, 1 – 4% vanadium, 4% Chromium and many grades contain 5 – 10% cobalt.

HSS tools are tough and suitable for interrupted cutting and are used to manufacture tools of complex shape such as drills, reamers, taps, dies and gear cutters. Tools may also be coated to improve wear resistance. HSS accounts for the largest tonnage of tool materials currently used. Typical cutting speeds: 10 – 60 m/min.
