Abstract
Abstract A super hard high-speed tool steel having a composition satisfying the condition of 0≦C-Ceq≦0.6 (where Ceq=0.06Cr+0.033 W+0.063 Mo+0.2 V within the range of 1.7≦C≦4.1%, the composition containing 3 to 10% of Cr, 1 to 20% of W, 1 to 15% of Mo (where 18≦W+2Mo≦40), 1 to 15% of V, not greater than 15% of Co, not greater than 2% of Si, not greater than 1% of Mn, and the balance substantially Fe and inevitable impurities, the steel further containing in uniformly dispersed state 2 to 12% in total of one, two or more selected from a group consisting of nitrides, carbides and carbonitrides of Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta in the composition. This tool steel exhibits a distinguished hardness of HRC 71 or higher, as well as toughness.
