AISI 6542 High Speed Steel Bar

 

AISI 6542 high-speed steel is a typical high-speed steel tungsten and molybdenum steel, toughness, wear resistance is better than W18Cr4V, hardness, red hardness and high temperature hardness. Can be used to manufacture a variety of tools that can withstand large impact, general tools and thermoplastic forming tools, but also for high-wear wear parts, cold molds.
