Rashid Metals is one of the prominent manufacturers and suppliers of quality metals in Muscat, OMAN, specializes in supplying a broad portfolio of metal products, which also includes high-speed steel bars. These are noted for having extreme hardness and a high degree of resistance to heat, thereby fitting well in various applications of cutting tools, industry, and production processes where the need is precision and strength. Rashid Metals promises maximum standards in both production and service to customers while providing a tailor-made solution based on individualized needs across sectors, be it aerospace or even automotive, etc.
High-speed steel (HSS) bars usually have a composition containing carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium, and cobalt. The carbon content ranges between 0.7% to 1.5%, whereas tungsten and molybdenum are usually present in 10%–20% and 3%–8%, respectively, which gives hardness and heat resistance. Chromium ranges between 4%–6% to improve corrosion resistance, whereas vanadium, at 1%–2%, improves wear resistance. Cobalt at 5%–10% increases red-hardness. HSS bars have a high tensile strength of up to 2400 MPa, hardness up to 65 HRC, and excellent resistance to thermal softening, which makes them the best for cutting tools and machining applications.
High-speed steel (HSS) bars are sized based on their cross-sectional dimensions (diameter for round bars, width/thickness for flats, or side length for square bars) and overall length. Standard sizes often follow industry specifications (e.g., ASTM, DIN) and are available in a range of diameters (e.g., 3mm to 200mm or more) and lengths (commonly 1-6 meters). Custom sizes can also be produced based on application needs.
Consider grade, hardness, toughness, heat resistance, tensile strength, dimensional accuracy, machinability, application-specific needs, corrosion resistance, surface finish, cost-effectiveness, supplier reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
High-speed steel (HSS) bars have gained popularity and are widely utilized in manufacturing industries due to excellent hardness, high heat resistance, and wear properties. They mainly find applications for the production of cutting tools that include drills, end mills, taps, saw blades, toolbits, and reamers for machining at high speeds when there is tremendous heat and pressure. They also find applications in automotive, aerospace, and metalworking industries where the performance of tooling must be reliable in extreme conditions. For that reason, high-performance tooling often requires that the corners not deform and remain sharp at high temperatures.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
