HSS Tools

High-Speed Steel (HSS) tools are cutting tools made from a special alloy of steel enriched with elements like tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium, and cobalt. Known for their excellent toughness, wear resistance, and heat resistance, HSS tools are widely used across industries for various metal cutting applications.

Applications:

  • General-purpose machining
  • Tool rooms and workshops
  • Small to medium batch production
  • Machining mild steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron

Advantages:

  • High Toughness – Can withstand shock and vibration
  • Cost-Effective – Affordable and easily resharpened
  • Good Versatility – Suitable for a wide range of materials and operations
  • Ease of Fabrication – Can be ground into custom shapes and profiles
  • High Red Hardness (up to ~600°C) – Maintains cutting ability at elevated temperatures
