DISTRIBUTORS, IMPORTERS & STOCKISTS OF ALL GRADES OF POWDER HIGH SPEED STEEL
ASP 2030 is 8% high-carbon tungsten / molybednum / cobalt high-speed steel, produced by powder metallurgy. It has good wear resistance, good grind ability and possesses the correct degree of toughness.
Uniform and high dimensional stability after heat treatment
Powder made steel formation process results in a homogeneous microstructure with a finer, more uniform carbide distribution imparting superior dimensional stability, grind ability and toughness when compared to steels produced by conventional processes
ASP2030 is a very high performance Powder metallurgical material having a optimal high cobalt (8%) - vanadium-chromium- molybdenum-tungsten alloyed steel, Suitable for machining of nickel-base and titanium alloys, for heavy and interrupted cuts, such as gear hobs, shapers, milling cutters, twist drills, taps and broaching tools. 8% cobalt modification of M3 high speed steel. It has red hardness comparable to that of M42 but offers abrasion resistance even better than that of M3. With its excellent red hardness, good wear resistance and good toughness
APPLICATIONS WHERE POWDER METALLURGY HIGH SPEED STEEL IS REQUIRED:
Heavy duty milling cutters, broaches, reamers, cutting tools, shaper cutters & rotary shave cutters for machining hard materials, socket head & hole punching dies for producing nuts & tap drills.
Die blocks, broaching tools, cold extrusion rams, tools subject to extensive mechanical stresses.
Heavy roughing work, machining high tensile steels, difficult to machine cast steel, grey cast iron, chill castings NF metals & non-metal material.
Turning, planning & shaping tool, rough milling cutters.
End mills, hobs, shaper cutters, cold forming tools, stamping & punching tools, cutting tools, working rolls for cluster rolling stand.
Highly stressed tools for machining high-strength steels, cast steels & difficult machinable materials at high cutting feed and speed.
