High Speed Steels

BÖHLER MC90 INTERMET is the revolutionary cutting material supporting enhanced requirements for improved productivity and highest quality in the gear cutting industry. Its unique alloying composition and properties build the basis for the next generation of tools competing in spheres, where up to now only cemented carbide was applied. Hardenability up to 68 HRC.

BÖHLER S390 MICROCLEAN – “The decathlete” This grade is our PM steel with many positive usage properties. For twist drills, taps, mills, broaches, or cold-work applications, BÖHLER S390 MICROCLEAN is always a high performer.

BÖHLER S590 MICROCLEAN – “The expert” High-speed steel manufactured in a powder metallurgy process, with good hot hardness, compressive strength, and wear resistance. PM technology gives it good toughness and excellent workability, such as the best machinability.

BÖHLER S600 – “The high-speed steel” Ideal for mills, twist drills, and taps, broaches, cold-work tools. BÖHLER S600 is the most commonly used high-speed steel and is the starting material for our customers who deal with high-speed steel.

Uddeholm Vanadis 30 SuperClean is a cobalt alloyed powder metallurgy high speed steel with excellent compressive strength and good abrasive wear resistance. Uddeholm Vanadis 30 SuperClean is suitable for demanding cold work applications and for cutting tools as an alternative to AISI M42 or other co-alloyed HSS. The PM process gives a good machinability and grindability as well as a good dimension stability during heat treatment. In east/south east asian countries served by Assab, Uddeholm Vanadis 30 SuperClean is sold as Assab PM 30 Superclean. Benefits Good wear resistance High hot hardeness and temper back resistance High compressive strength Standard specification W.nr 1.3294 / AISI D2 / AFNOR Z130 KWDCV 9.6.5.4.3

Uddeholm Vanadis 60 SuperClean is a high alloyed powder metallurgical high speed steel suitable for very demanding cold work applications and for cutting tools. The high carbon and alloying content, Co, Mo, W and V, gives an extremely high compressive strength, 69 HRC, combined with a very good abrasive wear resistance. For cutting tool applications Uddeholm Vanadis 60 SuperClean offers a unique combination of high wear resistance, hot hardness and good toughness compared to all other HSS. The P/M process ensures a good machinability and grindability together with a good dimensional stability during heat treatment. In east/south east asian countries served by Assab Uddeholm Vanadis 60 SuperClean is sold as Assab PM 60 Superclean. Benefits Excellent wear resistance for long run tooling Highest hot hardeness and temper back resistance Highest compressive strength Standard specification AISI D2 / AFNOR Z230 KDWVC 11.7.7.7.4
