Steel
High speed steel refers to a range of metal-cutting tool steels that retain their hardness at red heat. Key properties include high working hardness, wear resistance and toughness, good compressive strength and an ability to perform at temperatures up to 5000C without losing hardness. The main use of high-speed steels is for the manufacture of cutting tools such as drills, milling cutters, gear cutters, saw blades etc.
