<p>A tool steel, comprising high speed steel and cold working steel, produced from metal powder by compaction at a high pressure and a high temperature to full density. The steel is characterized in that a) at least 40% of the carbides of a randomly chosen section have a largest extension > 1.5 νm, b) at least 25% of the carbide area of a randomly chosen section is contributed by carbides with an extension > 3 νm, c) the steel contains carbides, the maximum size Lmax of these carbides and/or of carbide aggregates being a function of the diameter or smallest gauge of the product, and that d) the steel contains at least 0.7% carbon and at least 10% of one or several of the following metals: chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium, or mixtures of these.</p> |
