High Speed Steel History High speed steel grades have been developed over the years primarily for high speed cutting applications, but also for use in the production of tools and dies. The properties of each grade vary, but common properties include high wear resistance and excellent toughness. High speed steel grades also have high heat resistance up to 500°C, which makes them perfect for high sp...
