Product Description

 

Product Description

ASTM T5 Tool Steel | 1.3265 | S18-1-2-10 | SKH4 - High-Speed Steel

ASTM T5 Tool Steel is a tungsten-based high-speed steel that falls under the ASTM A600 standard, alongside other tool steels like T1, T2, and T4. As part of the T group, AISI T5 steel contains cobalt in the range of 7.0-9.5%, which enhances its high-temperature performance, toughness, and cutting ability. Compared to ASTM T4 Steel, T5 Tool Steel offers improved cutting performance and better resistance to heat, making it a popular choice for cutting tools, turning tools, and other high-performance applications. This combination of qualities makes T5 Tool Steel ideal for demanding machining tasks requiring durability, precision, and excellent wear resistance at elevated temperatures.
