Marc Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I'm guessing you're talking about high-speed steel. It's used in drill bits, router bits, taps, etc. I've been told it forges OK, but is very diffiicult to heat treat correctly. An air cool would cause it to turn brittle, and really needs a controlled heat-treat oven to prevent that. Anyway, that's the rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Might be M2 or a variant thereof. It is sometimes considered high-speed steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
