Abstract
Though very expensive, high-speed steels are widely used in the industry. It is very important to decrease the cost of tools from high-speed steel and increase their service life. Polish specialists have developed new steels with economical chemical compositions and efficient technologies for their chemicothermal treatment. The Institute of Precision Mechanics has developed a high-speed steel (of SM5 provisory grade) with a diminished content of carbon. Such steel is used in tools produced by the method of plastic deformation and die stamping under an impact load, and also for large-size tools. This article presents the technological and operating properties of this steel and its heat treatment regimes.
