High speed steels (often abbreviated HSS) are ferrous based alloys of the Fe–C–X multicomponent system where X represents a group of alloying elements comprising mainly Cr, W or Mo, V, and Co. These steels are mainly used for cutting tools, since they are characterized by their capacity to retain a high level of hardness while cutting metals at high speed. Generally, the X component is present in excess of 7%, along with more than 0.60% carbon.
iquid nitriding is a surface enhancement process with one of the longest track records of success of any ‘case hardening’ technology. It is widely used to cost effectively enhance the wear and corrosion resistance of plain carbon steels, low alloy steels, and stainless steels for a diverse range of precision components and industries, including automotive; oil & gas; hydraulic and pneumatic machinery; firearms; metal forming and forging tools; construction, transportation and material handling equipment, and general purpose industrial machinery.
