Abstract REX AA is the original 18-4-1 high-speed steel, having been first introduced in the early 1990s. Melting practice and processing have been improved since that time, but nevertheless it is so properly balanced and the fundamental characteristics so sound, that it is still a standard, general-purpose high-speed steel. REX AA has a wide hardening range. This steel is less susceptible to soft skin during hardening than other types and has good red hardness and toughness. Among its many applications are boring tools, broaches, cutters, drills, gear cutters, lathe tools and woodworking knives. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-426.

Abstract GUTERL M-1 is a highly-molybdenum, low-tungsten type of high-speed tool steel. It is a general-purpose high-speed steel with an excellent combination of cutting ability, finishing characteristics and toughness. Guterl M-1 has good cutting ability for all operations except for heavy-duty, continuous cutting applications that require the ultimate in red hardness. Its toughness is as great as that of other high-speed steels. Its typical uses include circular saws, broaches, gear cutters, twist drills and taps. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment.

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.
