HS6-6-2
Qilu
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.

8:Application
1.3350 steel, as a general-purpose high-speed steel with balanced performance, has the core advantage of maintaining a sharp cutting edge at high cutting speeds, making it suitable for manufacturing a variety of cutting tools. The following are their main application areas and specific uses:
1. Drilling Tools
Twist Drills: General-purpose drills used for machining carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, etc., especially in applications requiring high production efficiency and durability
Step Drills, Deep Hole Drills: Used to manufacture multi-diameter drills with complex structures and drills with a certain length-to-diameter ratio
2. Milling Tools
End Mills, Front End Mills: Used for milling planes, stepped surfaces, and grooves
Saw Blade End Mills, Slotting End Mills: Used for cutting and grooving
Form Mills: Milling cutters with specific profiles used for machining shaped surfaces
3. Threading Tools
Taps: Used for tapping internal threads; a common material for manufacturing hand and machine taps
Dies: Used for machining external threads
4. Gear Machining Tools
Hobs, Gear Shapers: Used for machining spur and helical cylindrical gears, suitable for small to medium batch production or cost-sensitive production
5. Broaching and Reaming Tools
Broaches: Used for machining various internal keyways, splines, and irregular holes
Reamers: Used for finishing drilled holes to achieve high-precision hole diameter and surface finish
