DIN HS6-6-2 1.3350 SKH52 High Speed Tool Steel

Grade: HS6-6-2 1.3350
Equivalent Steel: JIS SKH52
 
HS6-6-2/1.3350 is a high-performance tungsten-molybdenum high-speed tool steel designed for complex machining tasks that involve high cutting loads and elevated temperature conditions. As a classic high-speed steel grade, its composition is based on a balanced high carbon content (1.00–1.10%), complemented by an optimized alloy system containing tungsten (5.90–6.70%), molybdenum (5.50–6.50%), vanadium (2.30–2.60%), and chromium (3.80–4.50%). This material maintains high hardness and wear resistance at high temperatures while offering a good balance of toughness and grindability.

HS6-6-2/1.3350 is a tungsten‑molybdenum series general‑purpose high‑speed tool steel conforming to the German standard DIN EN ISO 4957. It holds a significant position in the fields of metal cutting and forming due to its balanced alloy composition and well‑rounded performance. This material achieves an excellent combination of hot hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, along with outstanding resistance to temper softening, making it a reliable choice for machining a wide range of common engineering materials.

The typical application of HS6-6-2 high‑speed steel lies in the manufacturing of cutting tools that require a balance of wear resistance and moderate toughness. It is highly suitable for producing various general‑purpose drills, milling cutters, taps, and saw blades, widely used in the machining of ordinary structural steels, cast iron, aluminum alloys, and non‑metallic materials.

7: Heat treatment

1): Annealed:

Heat 1.3350 steel to 850-880℃

Slowly cool the furnace (recommended cooling rate ≤ 30°C/hour) to around 500°C, then remove it from the furnace and air cool to room temperature

2): Quenching and tempering:  

Heat 1.3350 steel to 1190-1210℃ in the salt bath furnace

Quench in the oil

Temper steel at 550-570℃ in the furnace

Cooling in the air.
