M42 high-speed steel is a high-quality cobalt high-speed steel. Its chemical composition is designed specifically for high hardness and excellent thermal hardness. These characteristics make M42 high-speed steel the best choice for processing high-strength and pre hardened steels, high hardness alloys, and difficult to machine non-ferrous metal superalloys used in the aerospace, petroleum, and power generation industries.
The cutting tool made of M42 high-speed steel can cut iron-based high-temperature alloys, cast high-temperature alloys, titanium alloys, and ultra-high strength steels. Due to its excellent grindability, it can be used to manufacture various high-precision and complex cutting tools.
