Key Properties
Max Hardness: 63-65 HRC
Toughness: Excellent
M-2 (1.3343)
Tungsten-Molybdenum High Speed SteelThe "Standard" High Speed Steel. M2 offers the best balance of toughness, wear resistance, and hot hardness. It is far superior to D2 in terms of toughness and heat resistance, making it ideal for cutting tools that get hot during operation.
