    AISI high speed steel material 

    M42 tool steel is a molybdenum-series high-speed steel


    alloy with an additional 8% cobalt. (HSS Steel M42) 8% Cobalt tool bits are designed for
    machining work hardening alloys and other tough materials. They have increased water
    resistance and tool life. This improves performance and retention of the cutting edge.
    M42 steel composition makes for a good combination of toughness and hardness.

    High-speed steel M42 steel is widely used in metal manufacturing industries and in
    cutting tools manufacturing because of its superior red-hardness as compared to more
    conventional high-speed steels, allowing for shorter cycle times in production
    environments due to higher cutting speeds or from the increase in time between tool
    changes. HSS M42 tool steel is also less prone to chipping when used for interrupted
    cuts and costs less when compared to the same tool made of carbide. Tools made
    from cobalt-bearing high speed steels can often be identified by the letters HSS-Co.

    AISI M42 tool steel is a conventionally manufactured cobalt alloyed high-speed steel.
    The various stages of the manufacturing process are chosen and controlled so that an
    end product is obtained with a good structure in terms of carbide size and distribution.
    This is a distinct advantage for the finished tool.

    M42 high speed steel is characterised by

     all-round applicability
     good machine-ability
     good performance
     good hot hardness
     good wear resistance

    5. Forging of High Speed M42 Tool Steel

    Pre heat the M42 high speed steel slowly and uniformly to 650-760°C and equalise.
    Then increase more quickly to the forging temperature of 1010-1150°C and equalise
    prior to forging. Do not allow the forging temperature to drop below 980°C, if this occurs
    re heating will be necessary.  Always cool the m42 high speed steel very slowly after
    forging.

    6. Machinability

    AISI Steel grade M42 tool steel can be drilled, turned, threaded, broached, milled and
    tapped when it is in its annealed condition and rated at 45% of 1% carbon steel.

    7. Heat Treatment of M42 Tool Steel High-speed steel material

     Annealing

    AISI M42 high speed steel is heated at 871°C (1599°F) and then cooled slowly in a
    furnace.

     Stress Relieving

    To relieve stresses created by extensive machining or tooling with complex geometries.


    Heat in a neutral atmosphere for 1 to 2 hours after reaching a temperature of 1110 to
    1200°F (600 to 650°C), followed by slow cooling in the furnace.
     Hardening

    AISI M42 high speed steel is preheated to 871°C (1599°F), soaked and finally heated to
    1204°C (2199°F).

     Tempering

    Tempering M42 tool steel at 560°C / 1040°F or higher 3 times for at least 1 hour at full
    temperature is recommended.

    8. Application of M42 Tool Steel High Speed

    AISI M42 tool steel is a high-speed steel suitable for cutting tools such as, twist drills,
    broaches, taps, milling, cutters, saws, reamers etc. In terms of performance, HSS grade
    M42 is a steel to be used in conditions where the demand for hot hardness is of great
    importance i.e. where high performance is essential.

    Typically employed to machine the super alloys and exotic, AISI HSS M42 tool steel is
    employed in drills, hobs, taps, end mills, milling cutters, form and gear cutters, broaches
    and chasers.
