Product Description

Product Description

ESR/M42 1.3247 High Speed Tool Steel

ESR M42 (1.3247) high-speed tool steel is a premium-grade steel designed for the manufacturing of cutting tools, drills, and other high-performance machining equipment. Known for its exceptional wear resistance and toughness, M42 is ideal for cutting tough materials such as stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and other hard-to-machine substances. The steel contains a unique blend of tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, and vanadium, which enhances its hardness, red hardness, and overall durability, making it suitable for high-speed and high-temperature applications. Its ability to maintain sharp cutting edges at elevated temperatures significantly improves tool life and performance in demanding machining environments. ESR M42 steel is commonly used in the production of drills, end mills, taps, and other tools that require high wear resistance and strength.

ESR/M42 1.3247 High Speed Tool Steel Heat Treatment Process:

1. Annealing

   • Annealed Hardness (HB): 269
     The annealing process softens the M42 steel, reduces internal stresses, and improves machinability. The hardness after annealing is 269 HB.

2. Hardening

   • Hardening Temperature: 1170-1190°C
     The steel is heated to 1170-1190°C and held for a period to ensure uniform heating throughout. This process enhances the steel's hardness and wear resistance.

3. Tempering

   • Tempering Temperature: 550°C
     During tempering, M42 steel is heated to 550°C, which helps reduce brittleness while maintaining a balance between hardness and toughness.

4. Tempered Hardness (HRC): 65-68 HRC
   After tempering, the hardness of M42 steel ranges from 65-68 HRC, providing excellent wear resistance and high-temperature performance, making it suitable for high-load and high-speed cutting applications.

This heat treatment process ensures that M42 steel delivers stable cutting performance and long tool life under high-temperature and high-stress conditions.
