Sell High-Speed Steel Scrap (R6M5, R18)
Characteristics and Applications of High-Speed Steels (R6M5, R18)
R6М5: R6M5 high-speed steel (HSS), also referred to as M2-type in international classification, is a specialized alloy designed for high-speed metal cutting tools.
- Composition: Contains approximately 6% tungsten (W), 5% molybdenum (Mo), along with chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), and carbon (C).
- Properties: Offers high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and good red hardness (retention of hardness at elevated temperatures). Suitable for machining steels and hard materials such as stainless steel.
- Applications: Widely used in the production of drills, milling cutters, taps, and turning tools. Enables high-speed and precision machining operations.
R18: R18 high-speed steel (T1-type equivalent) is another key material used in cutting tool manufacturing.
- Composition: Contains approximately 18% tungsten (W), along with carbon (C), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), and small amounts of cobalt (Co).
- Properties: Exhibits very high hardness, superior wear resistance, and excellent thermal stability. Suitable for machining difficult and hard materials.
- Applications: Used for machining high-strength steels, titanium, cast iron, and other hard alloys.
