Color Code: ORANGE WITH BLACK STRIPE
Ameralloy High Speed-2 is the most widely used type of high-speed steel. It is generally used for the same applications as T-1 high speed. Ameralloy High Speed-2 has higher carbon content and balanced analysis producing properties applicable to all general-purpose high speed uses.
Typical Analysis
- Carbon .86
- Chromium 4.15
- Tungsten 6.35
- Molybdenum 5.00
- Vanadium 1.90
Applications
- Lathe tools
- Planer tools
- Drills
- Taps
- Reamers
- Broachers
- Milling cutters
- Form cutters
- Wood knives
- Gear cutters
- End mills
Features And Advantages
- Balanced abrasion and shock resistance
- Good red-hardness
- Weighs 6% less than T-1 high speed
- Can be hardened at 100° below T-1 high speed
Characteristics
Machinability Like all highly alloyed steels, High Speed-2 machines with somewhat more difficulty than the lower alloyed steels. It is rated at 65 as compared to a 1% carbon tool steel, which is rated at 100.
Critical points Critical points obtained by dilatometer tests when heating at a rate of 400° per hour and cooling at 30° per hour are as follows:
Heating – Ac range 1530° to 1610°F
Cooling – Ar range 1430° to 1380°F
Heat Treatment
Forging 2050°–2100°F, stop at 1800°F and cool slowly
Annealing 1600°F, cool slowly. Brinell 241 max.
Preheating 1550°F, soak before hardening
Hardening 2250° to 2275°F, oil-quench
Tempering 1000°–1050°F, Rockwell C 65-66
