DISTRIBUTORS, IMPORTERS & STOCKISTS OF ALL GRADES OF POWDER HIGH SPEED STEEL
ASP 2052 is Powder form HSS T42, produced by powder metallurgy with an homogeneous structuure and a good toughness. Its wear resistance is good. Uniform and high dimensional stability after heat treatment
PM 52 Steel - also known as ASP2052 is a very high performance Powder metallurgical material having a optimal high cobalt (8%)– high vanadium- high Tungsten(10%) -chromium- molybdenum alloyed steel, It is heat treatable to HRC 67-69. Its high carbon, vanadium and Cobalt contents provide abrasion resistance comparable to that of T15 and red hardness superior to that of M42. With its high hardness, fine grain size and uniform carbide distribution, it’s an outstanding choice for special purpose cutting tools requiring high red hardness, high abrasion resistance, and good toughness. 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
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
