M7 1.3348 High Speed Tool Steel

M7 is one of the High Speed Tool Steels in the molybdenum alloy family, with tungsten, chromium and vanadium for strengthening. It has good hardenability and is very wear resistant. Very high resistance to softening at elevated temperatures and good toughness. Deep hardening response.

M7 1.3348 is a high-speed tool steel that is commonly used in the manufacturing industry for cutting tools and machinery parts that require high wear resistance, high toughness, and high hardness.

M7 1.3348 steel is known for its excellent heat resistance, which makes it ideal for high-temperature applications. It also has good resistance to abrasion and deformation under high-stress conditions, which makes it suitable for cutting tools that are subjected to heavy loads and high speeds.

M7 is widely used for cutting tools in machining operations. Sendzimir rolls, segment and circular cutters, profile cutting tools, thread cutting drills and cold forming tools. M7 high-speed steel is used for making heavier construction drills where flexibility and extended drill life are extremely important. M7 molybdenum high-speed tool steels are mainly used for cutting tools in all machining operations. This steel exhibits good abrasion-resistance because of its carbon and vanadium contents. It is an excellent choice for premium tools which require an outstanding balance of red hardness, edge toughness and wear-resistance. It is especially suited for machining semi-hard, heat-treated steel at about 300-350 Brinell Hardness.
