| High Speed Steel | A medium-alloyed high speed steel that has good machinability and good performance. HSS exhibits hardness, toughness and wear resistance characteristics that make it attractive in a wide range of applications, for example in drills and taps. |
| Cobalt High Speed Steel | This high speed steel contains cobalt for increased hot hardness. The composition of HSCo is a good combination of toughness and hardness. It has good machinability and good wear resistance, which makes it usable for drills, taps, milling cutters and reamers. |
| Sintered Cobalt | Sintered Cobalt High Speed Steel (HSCo powder metal) is a substrate produced using powder metallurgy technology. Tools using substrates |
| High Speed Steel | produced by this method exhibit superior toughness and grindability. |
