5 High-Speed Tool Steel Grades You Can Recycle For Profit

High-speed tool steel is a heavily alloyed cast material reinforced with combinations of the following materials: tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, and vanadium. While it is expensive upon purchase, the material fetches a high profit in large scrap volumes. Here are five valuable grades you may have in your facility.

HSS

Ordinary high-speed tool steel only involves high-speed steel (HSS) materials. Manufacturers use this standard tool material on screwdrivers, drills, saws, and other cutting or torque-delivery equipment or components. M2-tier HSS has doubled the durability and functionality of metal-base machining equipment since the 1940s. 

HSS-CO

High-speed tool steel can help deliver exceptional speed-based cutting or drilling performance thanks to its high heat resistance. You can find HSS-Co used in most underground drilling operations or any high-heat environment operations, such as oil digging. Most metal fabricators may have a handful of HSS-Co-based equipment and tools to recycle for profit.

HSS-E

Pieces of this high-speed steel have exceptional friction resistance, making them perfect cutting edges. Most metal fabrication reaming machines use HSS-E because of the material's top-notch performance and speed. Saws and other top-tier physical cutters use the same material too. 

HSS-E M 42

Most equipment and tool manufacturers use this for high-grade heat resistance plus toughness cutters and drills. Fabricators that consistently handle challenging and difficult materials for processing have extensive use for the HSS-E M 42.

P/M HSS-E

This high-speed steel is one of the most robust but most expensive versions available in the market. It possesses elevated hardness, heat resistance, and remarkable cutting-edge stability.

If You Own These, You Can Recycle Them For a High Profit

If you have any equipment with significant HSS deposits, receiving a large yield from them is possible. Alnor Industries provides you with the best scrap recycling services, logistics, and yields in the Greater Toronto Area. Contact us today to learn more.
