M35 / DIN 1.3243 / AISI M35 Steel Grade

Toolman Special Steels is proud to produce and offer M35 (1.3243). It is medium alloy high speed steel and has better thermal hardness and wear resistance with better machinability than M2, because cobalt is added to it. . It features a strong cutting edge with good toughness, a deep hardening response, and maintains high hot hardness properties.

Steel Properties
  • Good high temperature hardness

  • High wear resistance

  • High cutting ability

  • Fine and uniform grain size

  • High resistance of cutting edge and good toughness.

  • Good machinability

HEAT TREATMENT AND PROCESSES

Heat treatment

Heat Treatment Process Temperature (°C) Details Resulting Hardness
Soft Annealing 820-880 Heat uniformly, hold until soaked, cool slowly in furnace. Brinell hardness of 230-300 HB
Stress Relieving 650 - 700 Heat to specified temperature, hold for 1 hour, air cool. Reduces machining stresses to minimize distortion during further heat treatment.
Hardening
  • Step 1: 450-600
  • Step 2: 850
  • Step 3: 1050
  • Step 4: 1210-1250
Preheat to 450-600, then to 850, and finally to 1050. Harden from 1210-1250 followed by oil, air quenching, or warm bath at 550. 64-66 HRC after quenching
Tempering 540-570 Reheat to specified temperature, hold for 1 hour (repeat 3 times).
