Description
Molybdenum powder metallurgical (PM) high speed tool steel produced by gas atomization, hot isostatic pressing and plastic deformation. Very high resistance to wear and to softening. High compression strength. Deep hardening response and much better toughness than conventional high speed tool steel. Very good dimensional stability at hardening.
Applications
Milling cutters, broach needles, cutting and punching, tools, dies, working rolls for cluster rolling stand.

Soft Annealing
Heat to 850-990
oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 240-300.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to
650
oC, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.
Hardening
Heat up to 450-500
oC, then preheat to 850-900
oC. Harden from a temperature of 1140-1180
oC followed by inert gas quenching or warm bath 550
oC. Hardness after quenching is min. 64 HRC.
Tempering
Tempering temperature: Min. 3 x 1.5 hour at 560
oC.
