Description
Z-T15 PM is a tungsten-vanadium-cobalt high speed steel produced by powder metallurgy methods that can be heat treated to a maximum attainable hardness of HRc 66-68. It offers high levels of both wear resistance and red hardness which make it suitable for use in various heavy duty cutting tool applications involving difficult to machine materials. It can be effective in select cold work applications when under- hardened to optimize toughness. The particle metallurgy processing also provides improved machinability, grindability, heat treat response, and dimensional stability when compared to similar grades produced by conventional methods.
Typical Applications
- form tools
- broaches
- gear tools
- milling cutters
- end mills
- taps
- spade blades
- roll forming tools
- punches and dies
