Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Metallurgical Characteristics

M35 high-speed steel features a complex carbide structure with primary MC carbides (vanadium-rich) and secondary M6C carbides (molybdenum-tungsten rich) distributed in a martensitic matrix. The cobalt addition enhances red hardness and thermal stability, enabling sustained cutting performance at elevated temperatures up to 650°C.

Heat Treatment Process

MetalZenith employs controlled atmosphere hardening at 1210-1230°C followed by multiple tempering cycles at 540-580°C. This process optimizes secondary hardening through fine carbide precipitation while maintaining dimensional stability and minimizing residual stress.

Advanced Manufacturing Process

Our M35 production utilizes vacuum induction melting followed by electroslag remelting to ensure chemical homogeneity and eliminate inclusions. Controlled forging and rolling operations optimize carbide distribution and grain structure for superior mechanical properties.

Specialized Quality Testing

MetalZenith conducts comprehensive testing including forming performance evaluation under high-stress conditions, weldability assessment for tool repair applications, hydrogen-induced cracking resistance testing, and delayed fracture analysis to ensure reliability in critical high-strength applications.

Application-Specific Considerations

For automotive manufacturing, M35 provides exceptional wear resistance in stamping dies and cutting tools. In building construction and bridge engineering, it offers superior performance in drilling and cutting hardened structural steels. For lifting equipment and pressure vessel manufacturing, M35 maintains cutting edge integrity during extended machining operations on high-strength alloys.
