Description
AFX 790 PM is a cobalt-free high-speed steel produced by Powder Metallurgy, developed for high-performance cutting tools, cold-work tools and cold-rolling rolls.
Its balanced composition, with high levels of molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium, provides an excellent combination of high hardness, wear resistance, cutting-edge stability, compressive strength and good toughness. The PM route promotes a finer, more homogeneous carbide distribution, improving grindability, heat-treatment response and dimensional stability.
TypicalApplications
- Gear-cutting tools
- Broaches, taps and reamers
- Cold-Work Tools

- Industrial Knives
- Plastic injection molds and components
- Parts subjected to high contact pressure and wear
AFX 10V PM
High vanadium content, exceptional wear resistance and longer tool life in high-production tooling.
AFX 12 Ultra PM
Vanadium and tungsten carbides in a proprietary matrix: extreme wear resistance with toughness superior to D2, M2 and A11 PM.
AFX M4 PM
Excellent balance of wear resistance, hot hardness and toughness—a higher-performance alternative to M2 and D2 in suitable applications.
AFX Wear PM
Wear resistance superior to A2 and D2, combined with high toughness and chipping resistance, up to 64 HRC.
