Product Description

AISI M7 DIN1.3348 high speed steel :
M7 High-Speed Steel is a type of high-alloy tool steel known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity. It is widely used in the manufacturing industry for the production of cutting tools, such as drills, end mills, and taps, as well as for various machining applications where high-speed operation is required.

Chemical Composition:

C(%)	Si(%)	Mn(%)	P(%)	S(%)	Cr(%)	Mo(%)	V(%)	W(%)
0.97-1.05	0.20-0.45	0.15-0.40	≤0.30	≤0.30	3.75-4.00	8.20-9.20	1.75-2.25	1.40-2.10

Properties:
High hardness: M7 steel exhibits excellent hardness, allowing it to retain a sharp cutting edge even under high-speed machining conditions.
Wear resistance: The alloying elements in M7 contribute to its wear resistance, making it suitable for prolonged cutting operations.
Thermal conductivity: M7 has good thermal conductivity, which helps dissipate heat generated during machining, prolonging tool life.
Toughness: While primarily known for its hardness, M7 also possesses good toughness, reducing the risk of tool breakage during use.

Applications:
M7 High-Speed Steel finds applications in various industries, including:
Metalworking: Used for cutting, drilling, and milling operations in the production of automotive parts, aerospace components, and machine tools.
Woodworking: Employed for cutting and shaping wood, including in the production of furniture and cabinetry.
Plastic machining: Suitable for machining thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics in the manufacturing of injection molds and extrusion dies.

Microstructure:
The microstructure of M7 High-Speed Steel typically consists of tempered martensite with finely dispersed carbides. This microstructure contributes to the steel's hardness and wear resistance.
