They are available in both standard and custom dimensions to suit specific industrial requirements.
M2 Hex Bars are high-speed steel bars commonly used in drill bits, end mills, and cutting tools. They offer excellent wear resistance and maintain sharp edges even at elevated temperatures. The carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium content in M2 ensures optimal hardness and durability. These bars are suitable for applications requiring high precision and stability. M4 Hex Bars, on the other hand, contain higher molybdenum content, enhancing toughness and reducing brittleness. They are ideal for heavy-duty cutting and shaping operations in industrial environments. T1 Hex Bars are tungsten-based tool steels, offering excellent red-hardness and superior performance for high-speed machining tasks.
The chemical composition of M2, M4, and T1 Hex Bars is tailored to meet industrial standards for cutting efficiency and wear resistance. High-carbon content in these steels improves hardness, while alloying elements such as molybdenum and tungsten enhance toughness. Vanadium addition ensures fine grain structure, increasing tool life. The precise balance of these elements makes M2, M4, and T1 Hex Bars versatile for multiple machining operations. Regular heat treatment further improves mechanical properties and dimensional stability. Industrial users prefer these hex bars for their predictable performance in demanding applications. Their consistent quality reduces tool failures and maintenance costs.
