Key Features and Advantages of 1.3247 High Speed Steel 

Choosing 1.3247 (AISI M42) for your cutting tool applications provides a distinct set of advantages rooted in its unique material properties. 

• Superior Red Hardness: The high cobalt content allows tools to operate at higher speeds and feeds, reducing cycle times and increasing machine-hour productivity. 
• Exceptional Wear Resistance: A high volume of hard carbides ensures extended tool life, even when machining abrasive or difficult-to-cut materials like nickel-based alloys, titanium, and high-strength steels. 
• Excellent Edge Retention: The ability to be hardened to 68 HRC allows for the creation of an extremely sharp and durable cutting edge. This leads to cleaner cuts, better surface finishes, and tighter dimensional tolerances on finished parts. 
• High Compressive Strength: Resists deformation under the high pressures encountered at the tool tip, making it ideal for heavy-duty and high-performance machining operations. 
• Versatile Performance: Suitable for a wide range of cutting operations, from continuous turning to interrupted cuts like milling and broaching.
