High Speed Steel Grade Guidance
High speed steel requirements should be reviewed by grade, working temperature, tool geometry, wear exposure, cutting condition and heat treatment requirement.
| Grade | Common buyer reason | Typical forms requested | RFQ note |
|---|---|---|---|
| HSS M2 | General-purpose molybdenum high speed steel for cutting and tooling applications. | Round bars, flats, square bars, plates and cut pieces. | Share size, condition, tolerance and tool application. |
| HSS M35 | Cobalt-bearing HSS reviewed for higher hot hardness than M2. | Rounds, flats, tool blanks and machined component requirements. | Mention heat, cutting speed and wear expectations. |
| HSS M42 | Higher cobalt HSS reviewed for demanding cutting and wear applications. | Bars, rods, flats and cut-to-size blanks. | Share drawing, hardness or project specification where available. |
| HSS T1 | Tungsten high speed steel reviewed when the buyer specification calls for T-series HSS. | Bars, flats, plates and tool blanks. | Specify the exact standard or equivalent designation. |

High Speed Steel FAQs
What high speed steel grades can buyers enquire for?
Rubinox can review enquiries for HSS grades such as M2, M35, M42, T1 and project-specified equivalents based on grade, size, form, condition and quantity.
What is the difference between HSS M2, M35 and M42?
HSS M2 is a general-purpose molybdenum high speed steel, M35 is cobalt-bearing for higher hot hardness, and M42 has higher cobalt content for demanding cutting and tooling applications.
Which product forms are common for high speed steel?
High speed steel is commonly requested as round bars, flats, square bars, plates, tool blanks and cut pieces depending on the tooling or machining requirement.
What details are needed for a high speed steel quotation?
Share grade, product form, diameter or section size, length, quantity, condition, tolerance, application, drawing if available and delivery location.
Can HSS be reviewed for cutting tools and dies?
Yes. Buyers should state whether the requirement is for drills, cutters, broaches, punches, dies, knives or other tooling so grade and condition can be reviewed properly.
Does Rubinox provide HSS grade selection advice?
Rubinox can support specification review and sourcing discussion, but final grade selection should follow the buyer's drawing, application condition, tool design and project standard.
Can buyers request documentation for HSS?
Buyers can mention MTC, chemical composition, hardness, heat treatment condition or inspection requirements at RFQ stage where applicable.
Is HSS the same as stainless steel?
No. High speed steel is a tool steel family used for hot hardness, wear resistance and cutting performance, while stainless steel is selected mainly for corrosion resistance and fabrication.
