Abstract MOLITE 4 is a high-carbon, high-vanadium, tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel that approaches the ultimate in wear resistance for high-speed steels in this group. The advantages in using this steel comprise (1) Very high wear resistance, (2) High red hardness, (3) Good toughnes and (4) Moderate grindability. Among its many uses are punches and dies for blanking and forming thin sheet, milling cutters, twist drills, reamers, forming rolls, cold-extrusion punches and draw dies. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-447.

Abstract CPM Rex T15 is a tungsten-type high-speed steel containing high carbon and vanadium for very high hardness and maximum wear resistance, and cobalt for good red hardness. It is now made exclusively by Crucible’s particle metallurgy process, resulting in improved quality and grindability. This alloy was designed for use in difficult machining operations requiring heavy-duty cuts, high speeds and feeds, and for difficult-to-machine materials that are high in hardness and abrasion resistance. This datasheet revision updates chemistry, properties, and the benefits of high sulfur (HS). This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and bend strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-249. Producer or source: Crucible Service Centers. Originally published as CPM REX T15, January 1973, revised March 2007.

Abstract FAGERSTA WKE-45 is a tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel containing 11% cobalt. It has greater red hardness and more wear resistance than almost any other high-speed steel and has adequate (medium) toughness. It is used mainly for lathe tools (for example, tool bits) where maximum wear resistance and red hardness are required. It is particularly suitable for working very hard and wear-inducing materials, including stainless steels. This datasheet provides information on composition and hardness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-317. Producer or source: Fagersta Steels Inc..

Abstract CPM Rex 121 is a super high-speed steel with significantly higher wear resistance and red hardness than other high-speed steels. It is best suited for applications requiring high cutting speeds. It may provide an alternative to carbide where carbide cutting edges are too fragile. The annealed hardness is approximately 350-400 HB, and maximum hardness is approximately 72 HRC. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on high temperature performance and wear resistance as well as heat treating and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-591. Producer or source: Crucible.

Abstract AISI Type T5 is a tungsten high-speed steel to which cobalt (8.9%) is added to provide high and unusual red hardness. It is particularly well adapted for heavy-duty cutting and high-production cutting tools. Because of its high red hardness, a cutting edge can be maintained under conditions of speed, feed and depth of cut that would not be possible with ordinary high-speed steels. Typical applications of AISI Type T5 are lathe and planer tools, reamers, milling cutters and twist drills for heavy-duty cutting. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and hardness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-389.
