Tool steel | 1.3343 | AISI M2

The high-performance high-speed steel 1.3343, also known as HS6-5-2C, impresses with its outstanding wear resistance, high hot hardness and excellent toughness. Thanks to its high tungsten and molybdenum content, it retains its hardness even at high temperatures, making it ideal for high-speed applications. It is preferred in tool manufacturing for milling cutters, drills, cutting tools and punching tools, especially in metalworking and plastics processing. Metal 3D printing using Laser Powder Bed Fusion can be used to produce customized, high-strength and wear-resistant tools made from 1.3343, enabling complex geometries and optimized tool life.
