Abstract CPM REX 20 is the second in a family of super high-speed steels made without cobalt. (For the first one, see CPM REX 25, Alloy Digest TS-365, July 1980.) CPM REX 20 is comparable to the AISI Type 40 series of high-speed steels, particularly AISI Type 42, in heat-treating response and tool performance. CPM REX 20 is designed for use in machining operations requiring heavy cuts, high speeds and feeds, and for difficult-to-machine materials that are high in hardness and abrasion resistance. Typical applications are boring tools, drills, gear cutters and punches. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-398. Producer or source: Crucible Specialty Metals Division, Colt Industries.

Abstract CPM REX 25 is a super high-speed steel made without cobalt. It is comparable to AISI Type T15 cobalt-containing high-speed steel in response to heat treatment, properties, and tool performance. CPM REX 25 is recommended for machining operations requiring heavy cuts, high speeds and feeds, and difficult-to-machine materials of high hardness and abrasion resistance. Typical applications are boring tools, drills, gear cutters, punches, form tools, end mills and broaches. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-365. Producer or source: Crucible Materials Corporation.

Abstract REX M2 is a tungsten-molybdenum high-speed steel offering outstanding performance in all operations where a general-purpose high-speed steel is required. CPM REX M2, produced by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy Process, is an improved-quality product with greater hardness or finer grain size (depending on hardening temperature), better toughness and better grindability than the conventionally produced REX M2. Other characteristics and properties of the two products are very similar (See General Characteristics for more details). This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-293. Producer or source: Crucible Specialty Metals Division, Colt Industries.
