We supply and stock high-speed steel
Sheffield Guage Plate is stockholders and suppliers of a range of high-speed steel grades.
High-speed steel grades are popular due to the high hardness they offer at temperatures up to 500°C, furthermore, due to their high wear resistance as high-performance steels. High-speed steel has more advantages to the standard high carbon tool steel specifications. It will withstand increases in temperature without losing its temper, enabling the steel to cut faster than high carbon steel. Hence the name high-speed steel.
Our high-speed steel supplies are held in the tungsten molybdenum type. Cobalt molybdenum high-speed steel grades are also available.
