For cutting tools such as drills, mills, or broaches, but also for cold-forming tools, high-speed steels are often the primary choice – for example, our homogeneous, ultra-clean powder metallurgy steels, known as MICROCLEAN. They optimally combine the required properties for good edge retention, such as high wear resistance, hot hardness, and toughness. For our customers, this means the guarantee of a long service life, lower setup costs, and reliable and reproducible production processes.
