High-Speed Steel (HSS), often referred to as M2 steel, is a premium material for industrial blades where toughness, stability, and heat resistance are required. Unlike carbon or stainless steels, HSS retains its hardness even at elevated temperatures, making it ideal for high-speed and heavy-duty cutting environments.
HSS blades offer a balance of hardness and toughness, which allows them to resist chipping and deformation while maintaining sharp edges under continuous stress. This makes them suitable for both thin and thicker materials, as well as abrasive composites.
Applications include:
-
Rotary and circular blades for textiles, paper, and films
-
Oscillating and pointed blades for foams, insulation, and rubber
-
CNC cutting tools for composites, laminates, and technical fabrics
-
General-purpose industrial cutting requiring durability and heat resistance
HSS blades can also be coated with TiN (Titanium Nitride) or DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) to further improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and extend service life.
