AISI M2

M2 is a tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel and is a popular grade for general purpose cutting and non-cutting applications. It has a wider heat-treating range than most ofthe molybdenum high-speed steels,coupled with a resistance to decarburization that is char- acteristic of tungsten types. M2 offers an excellent combination of red hardness,tough- ness, and wear resistance. M2 is available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. M2 is subjected to a variety of rigid quality control tests and inspection to ensure quality, unifor- mity, and reliability.

TYPICALAPPLICATIONS

Broaches, Boring Tools, Chasers, Cold Forming Rolls, Cold Heading Inserts, Drills, End Mills, Form Tools, Hobs, Lathe and Planer Tools, Punches, Milling Cutters, Taps, Reamers, and Saws.

TYPLEX

Typlex is a unique analysis of hot work steel, built to provide the ultimate in heat resistance, yet provide great strength. Tensile strength is approximately 300,000 lbs. Commonly used chrome-molybdenum and chrome-vanadium types provide heat resisting and wear qualities, but often fail by lacking the necessary degree of toughness as found Typlex. For insert dies used in: Board Hammers (hot), Upsetters (hot), Forging Presses (hot), Extrusion Presses (hot and cold), and also for forging aluminum, copper, and steel.
