What is M2 High Speed Steel?
M2 High Speed Steel, also known as AISI M2 or DIN 1.3343, is a molybdenum-tungsten high-speed tool steel that offers a perfect balance between toughness, hardness, and heat resistance. It is the most widely used high-speed steel grade for general-purpose cutting tools due to its cost-effectiveness and reliable performance.
Compared to traditional carbon tool steels, M2 provides superior hot hardness, wear resistance, and edge retention, which allows it to perform effectively even under continuous high-speed cutting operations. It is often compared with M35 and M42, though M2 remains the most economical and versatile choice for toolmakers and manufacturers.
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.
