Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Red hardness is the ability of a steel to maintain its hardness and cutting edge even when heated to a dull red color (around 500-600°C) during high-speed friction.
Cobalt significantly increases the hot hardness (red hardness) of the steel, allowing cutting tools made from M35 to cut harder materials or run at faster speeds than standard M2 HSS.
Yes, we supply HSS in both round bars for drills/end mills and flat bars used for creating industrial blades and special cutting tools.
