DISTRIBUTORS, IMPORTERS & STOCKISTS OF ALL GRADES OF POWDER HIGH SPEED STEEL
ASP 2030 is 8% high-carbon tungsten / molybednum / cobalt high-speed steel, produced by powder metallurgy. It has good wear resistance, good grind ability and possesses the correct degree of toughness.
Uniform and high dimensional stability after heat treatment
Powder made steel formation process results in a homogeneous microstructure with a finer, more uniform carbide distribution imparting superior dimensional stability, grind ability and toughness when compared to steels produced by conventional processes
ASP2030 is a very high performance Powder metallurgical material having a optimal high cobalt (8%) - vanadium-chromium- molybdenum-tungsten alloyed steel, Suitable for machining of nickel-base and titanium alloys, for heavy and interrupted cuts, such as gear hobs, shapers, milling cutters, twist drills, taps and broaching tools. 8% cobalt modification of M3 high speed steel. It has red hardness comparable to that of M42 but offers abrasion resistance even better than that of M3. With its excellent red hardness, good wear resistance and good toughness
