Carbon steels are designated by 4 number referring to the manganese and carbon content (e.g. 1018, 4140, 1095) High speed steel use a letter and number configuration for their designation. The high speed steels designations begin with one of two letters either an M for Molybdenum type or T for Tungsten type high speed steels. ( e.g. M-2, M-4, M-48 or T-1, T-15)

Why high speed steel is called high speed?

High speed steel is made from different steel alloys. Depending on the application and budget the alloy is made from iron and different mixes of carbon, tungsten, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium.


Why temperature drop is high in low carbon steel than high carbon steel?

Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.


What is the percentage of carbon in high speed steel?

Tool steels usually contain from 0.5% to 2.5% carbon. This level of carbon is necessary to combine with the carbide forming elements in the tool steels. These carbide-forming elements, when combined with the carbon, provide the necessary hardness and wear resistance. Check out the related link for more information on tool steels and their alloying element.
