M2 High Speed Steel | M2 Tool Steel | HS6-5-2 | 1.3343

At Nifty Alloys, we supply good quality M2 High Speed Steel (HSS), or M2 Tool Steel, HS6-5-2, and DIN 1.3343. It is one of the most prevalent grades of high-speed tool steel because of its excellent wear-resistance, toughness, and good cutting.

When you need material for drill bits, taps, cutting saw blades, or cutting tools, M2 HSS is the one to turn to. With global shipping and strict quality control measures, Nifty Alloys ensures you are provided with tested, certified, and traceable M2 steel for your application.
 

What is M2 High Speed Steel?

M2 High Speed Steel is molybdenum alloy tool steel used in high-performance cutting tools. It yields a combination of hot hardness (red hardness), toughness, and resistance to wear. Unlike carbon tool steels, M2 does not experience loss of hardness when cutting at elevated temperatures and is thus ideally qualified for heavy-duty machining operations as well as high-speed machining.

At Nifty Alloys, we also supply related grades such as A2 Tool Steel, D2 Tool Steel, and H13 Tool Steel, ensuring a complete solution for tool steel requirements.

Key Features of M2 High Speed Steel

• Excellent Hardness: Achieves high hardness after heat treatment, typically 62–65 HRC.
• Good Toughness: Maintains toughness while offering wear resistance, minimizing tool breakage.
• High Red Hardness: Retains cutting edge at elevated temperatures, essential for machining operations.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of industrial cutting and forming tools.
• Cost-Effective Performance: Balances economy with durability compared to other high-speed steels.
